The Old Pain (Remastered)

(Verse 1 – Slow & Gritty) The cut runs deep, but I feel alive, One more scar, just to make it through the night. I smash my fists against the wall, If it don’t break, then I just might fall… (Pre-Chorus – Build Up with Drums & Distortion) Like the marks, the reason remains, Cover it up, hide the pain. Smile for the crowd, don’t let ‘em see, They wouldn’t understand what it means to me. (Chorus – Big, Anthemic, Heavy Guitars) I bleed so I can be free, A rush of fire burnin’ inside of me. If I don’t feel this, I might lose my mind, Trapped in a storm that I can’t leave behind! (Verse 2 – Gritty Vocals, Heavy Bassline) Another night, another game I play, Drownin’ in whiskey just to numb the pain. They say “let go,” but they don’t know, This old pain’s got a hell of a hold. (Pre-Chorus – Build Again, Tension Rising) Like the marks, the reason remains, Cover it up, hide the pain. Smile for the crowd, don’t let ‘em see, They wouldn’t understand what it means to me. (Chorus – Power Chords, Strong Vocals, Big Drum Hits) I bleed so I can be free, A rush of fire burnin’ inside of me. If I don’t feel this, I might lose my mind, Trapped in a storm that I can’t leave behind! (Bridge – Emotional, Softer, Clean Guitar Arpeggios) Is there another way to feel alive? A way to escape without crossing the line? (Drums kick in, distortion builds up… then explodes!) The old pain calls, but I wanna break free… Is there a way out waiting for me?! (Final Chorus – Huge, Emotional, Almost Desperate Sounding) I bleed so I can be free, A rush of fire burnin’ inside of me. If I don’t feel this, I might lose my mind, Trapped in a storm that I can’t leave behind! (Outro – Fading, Raw & Emotional) The cut runs deep, but I wanna believe… That maybe one day, I won’t have to bleed… The old pain whispers, but I won’t obey… Maybe I’ll find another way… someday…
