[Verse 1 – soft guitar + piano, breathy delivery] Some nights I’m buried in my head Drowning in the things I never said Every step feels like a stone Every mile I walk alone The quiet isn’t peaceful here It’s the sound of every fear But I keep my head up to the flame ‘Cause the fire still knows my name --- [Pre‑Chorus – soft lift, pads swelling] When the dark starts to close me in When my strength wears paper thin I remember I’ve been here before And I’ll crawl my way to the door… --- [Chorus – euphoric lift, sustained raspy grit] Suffering Every scar still sings [belt, sustain long note] Through the pain, through the rain I’ve known I’m still standing on my own Suffering But I won’t lose everything Through the fire, through the scars I remember who we are --- [Rap – raspy grit, fast cadence, emotional] Yeah, I’ve been down where the light don’t reach Fighting off hell with a voice that’s weak Every breath feels stolen away Every night bleeds into the day I’ve carried loss like a stone in my chest No sleep, no peace, no second to rest The mirror shows a stranger’s face But the eyes still burn from a brighter place Every tear is a battle scar Every step says I’ve come this far Even when the ground falls out from my feet I keep running with the pain on repeat You can take my strength, you can take my skin But you’ll never stop what burns within I’ve walked through storms, I’ve run through flames I’ve learned to fight with nothing to gain --- [Post‑Rap Vocal Run Explosion – sustained high notes + grit] Oooooh‑oooooh‑oooooh [belt, run, sustain] I’ve been sufferriiiiiiing [long belted run] Oooooh‑oooooh‑oooooh [belt, sustain] But I’m still standiiiiiiing [long high falsetto run] --- [Verse 2 – brighter plucks, soft kick] Every wound I’ve learned to hide Lives like thunder deep inside But I won’t give the dark my soul I’m the flame it can’t control Even when I’m on my knees I still fight for what I believe And I’ll burn until the end With the fire of a friend --- [Pre‑Chorus – emotional lift] When the dark starts to close me in When my strength wears paper thin I remember I’ve been here before And I’ll crawl my way to the door… --- [Chorus – euphoric lift, sustained raspy grit] Suffering Every scar still sings [belt, sustain long note] Through the pain, through the rain I’ve known I’m still standing on my own Suffering But I won’t lose everything Through the fire, through the scars I remember who we are --- [Outro – soft guitar + fading pads] I’m still standing… Through the suffering… (fade)
