It hurts? It cuts? But it shouldn’t?

[Intro – whispered, then screamed] Oh… yeah… Ah—what is this weight on my chest? Tell me—should it even hurt like this? Or am I just addicted to the ache, huh? Ohhh… ohhh… ahhh… [Verse 1 – Hip Hop cadence] Why’s my shadow louder than my name? Why’s the silence feel thicker than the flame? Oh, I been running through wires, concrete veins, Dripping static in the night, but it ain’t the same. Tell me—does it sting when you touch your own doubt? Ah—does it bleed when the love runs out? Metal taste on my tongue, yeah I bite my pain, Turn the hurt into rhythm, into broken refrains. [Chorus – Industrial Rock scream + R&B harmony] Ohhh—it hurts, yeah it cuts, but it shouldn’t… ahhh… I wear these scars like tattoos you wouldn’t. Ohhh, dancing with ghosts in my bloodstream, Ahhh, caught in the echo of a bad dream. It hurts? It cuts? But it shouldn’t? Ohhh—I twist the blade and I wouldn’t stop, couldn’t. Ohhh… ohhh… ahhh… Pain keeps singing me home. [Verse 2 – R&B glide, then rap break] Ah, my heartbeat’s rust on a steel drum… Every kiss tastes like the war I came from. Should love sound like chains dragging on the floor? Shouldn’t it heal me? Shouldn’t it give me more? Ohhh… tell me why I chase it anyway? Tell me why I bow down to the ache every day? Ahhh… Is the wound a god, is the pain my shrine? Do I love the hurt ‘cause it keeps me in line? [Bridge – Industrial noise, whisper to shout] Ohh—questions, questions, never answers… Ahh—pain’s a preacher, pain’s a dancer… Should I kill it? Should I crown it? Should I drown it, or should I drown in it? Ohhh… ohhh… (echoing) Ahhh… ahhh… (screaming) [Extended Chorus – layered voices, chaos builds] Ohhh—it hurts, yeah it cuts, but it shouldn’t? Ahhh—I wear my scars like armor, you wouldn’t. Ohhh—ghosts in my bloodstream won’t let go, Ahhh—dancing in the fire like I asked for the show. It hurts? It cuts? It breaks me down, ahhh— Ohhh—yet somehow it makes me sound… alive? Tell me, oh tell me, why it burns this deep? Tell me, ah tell me, why I don’t want relief? [Outro – whisper fading into static] Ohhh… ohhh… ahhh… Pain’s just the rhythm that I breathe in, huh? It hurts, yeah… But maybe it should.
