[Verse 1] I keep a little fire For the words I never said A crucible inside me Where I lay the hurt to rest I don’t bury what I’m feeling I let every color bleed Then I gather up the pieces And decide what they will be [Pre-Chorus] Give me sorrow, I’ll make it sing Give me anger, watch what it brings Every wound leaves something behind But I decide what becomes mine [Chorus] It’s emotional alchemy Turning everything that burned me Into gold I get to keep I take the ache I take the heat Make a boundary Make a beat You can hurt me But you don’t get to define me That’s emotional alchemy [Verse 2] I’ve made rhythm out of rage Made a melody from grief Pulled the poison from the memory Kept the lesson underneath I don’t need to throw the fire At the hands that gave it birth I can use it as a lantern Let it show me what I’m worth [Pre-Chorus] Give me silence, I’ll find my voice Give me distance, I’ll make my choice Every ending leaves something new I keep the wisdom Release the wound [Chorus] It’s emotional alchemy Turning everything that burned me Into gold I get to keep I take the ache I take the heat Make a boundary Make a beat You can hurt me But you don’t get to define me That’s emotional alchemy [Bridge] I am not what happened to me I’m the hands around the flame I’m the one who names the meaning I’m the one who shapes the change No revenge upon my altar No forgiveness forced too soon Just the truth beneath the anger And the space I needed to bloom [Breakdown] Pain into poetry Rage into clarity Grief into something That sounds like me Fire into light Goodbye into peace That’s how I turn What hurt into me [Final Chorus] It’s emotional alchemy Nothing broken gets to own me Nothing lost is ever empty I take the ache I take the heat Make a boundary Make a beat You can hurt me But you don’t get to define me I turn the weight into release Turn the chaos into harmony That’s emotional alchemy [Outro] I don’t throw the fire back I make it sing I don’t throw the fire back I make it sing Emotional alchemy
