No Light Without Blood

Verse 1
They sold me dreams without a cost
Said pain was something to be lost
But every truth I ever knew
Was paid in red, was paid in you

Pre-Chorus
You don’t ascend without the fall
You don’t feel whole until you’re raw

Chorus
There’s no light without blood
No crown without the cut
Every star I ever touched
Burned because it must
I won’t apologize for scars
They taught me who I am
There’s no light without blood
And I would bleed again

Verse 2
I walked through fire, slow and wide
With shaking hands, with open eyes
If this is what becoming means
Then let it hurt — I’m still complete

Bridge (intimate)
If pain is proof that I survived
Then every wound keeps me alive

Final Chorus
There’s no light without blood
No truth without the fight
I am forged, not saved
In the dark, I learned to shine
