Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro –Spoken, cold and steady-] “You ever wish the pain would just… stop? But deep down… you know it never will.” ⸻ [Verse 1] Every breath is a battle, every day is a fight I’ve been praying for sunrise in the dead of the night They tell me I’m strong, like that’s some kind of cure But my scars aren’t medals—just proof I endured [Verse 1 – Continued] I’ve been crawling through fire with my skin peeling back With a smile on my face just to cover the cracks ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I’m tired of the bullshit, the “you’ll be alright” You don’t see the demons I’m holding at night ⸻ [Chorus] It hurts like hell but I’m still breathing I’m bleeding out but I’m still here screaming Don’t tell me to smile through the ache in my chest I’m not okay, and I won’t fake the rest So fuck all the pity, the prayers, and the lies I’m standing in pain, but I’m still alive ⸻ [Verse 2] I’ve drowned in my thoughts till I’m choking on fear Built a castle of rage just to stand right here You think you can fix me with sweet little words? My pain’s not a puzzle—it’s a goddamn curse [Verse 2 – Continued] I’ve learned how to fight with my back to the wall And I’d rather stand bleeding than not stand at all ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 2] I’m not looking for saviors or someone to blame I just want you to know that I’m not the same ⸻ [Chorus –Repeat, More Aggressive-] It hurts like hell but I’m still breathing I’m bleeding out but I’m still here screaming Don’t tell me to smile through the ache in my chest I’m not okay, and I won’t fake the rest So fuck all the pity, the prayers, and the lies I’m standing in pain, but I’m still alive ⸻ [Bridge –Whispered, then screamed-] Every cut, every scar, every tear in my soul Is the map of the battles you’ll never know I’m not weak, I’m not gone, I’m the storm in disguise This pain is the reason I’m still alive ⸻ [Breakdown –Screamed/Sung-] Hurt like hell— But I’ll never fall Hurt like hell— And I’ll take it all Hurt like hell— But I’ll never fade This pain is the armor I’ve fucking made ⸻ [Final Chorus –Layered Vocals, Heavy Instrumentals-] It hurts like hell but I’m still breathing I’m bleeding out but I’m still here screaming Don’t tell me to smile through the ache in my chest I’m not okay, and I won’t fake the rest So fuck all the pity, the prayers, and the lies I’m standing in pain, but I’m still alive ⸻ [Outro –Clean guitar fades-] It hurts like hell… But hell’s where I learned how to fight. I’m bleeding out but I’m still here screaming Don’t tell me to smile through the ache in my chest I’m not okay, and I won’t fake the rest So fuck all the pity, the prayers, and the lies I’m standing in pain, but I’m still alive ⸻ [Outro – Clean guitar fades] It hurts like hell… But hell’s where I learned how to fight.
