Cycle of Pain

[Verse 1: Male]
Rage in my veins, thunder in my teeth
Fists talking louder than the words I preach
Bruised pride, shattered glass in our hallways
Told myself she deserved it, caught in my haze

[Verse 2: Female]
Broken ribs and a heart torn wide
But I still see my baby in your bloodshot eyes
Every shattered frame, every slammed door cry
I still walk the wreckage, whisper soft lullabies

[Chorus: Both]
Cycle of pain, spinning 'round and 'round
Love scars deep, but we both stay bound
You hate, you push, but I'll still pray
Each step forward, you're my shadow today

[Verse 3: Male]
I hear her whispers, but I turn up the sound
Fists aim cruel, though my heart weighs pounds
Years of neglect, made me this rebel beast
But I feast on my guilt, on a love deceased

[Verse 4: Female]
Empty bottles and words that sting
You’re my punishment, my everything
Put down the weight, son, let mama breathe
Love’s golden thread stitched you in my dreams

[Chorus: Both]
Cycle of pain, spinning 'round and 'round
Love scars deep, but we both stay bound
You hate, you push, but I'll still pray
Each step forward, you're my shadow today
