Punk Healer by Mats Olausson

[Intro - E minor, distorted bass, cigarette lighter flick]
(Cough)
("Alright, let's see what we're working with here.")

[Verse 1 - E minor, dirty guitar, half-spoken]
Don't come to me for gentle lies  
Or crystals that'll heal your cries  
I got dirty hands and dirtier truths  
Learned my trade in back-alley booths

Been where you are, tasted that blood  
Crawled through the shit, swam through the flood  
So when you're broken, don't want my pity  
Want my roadmap through the gritty

[Pre-Chorus - C major, building tension]
I don't fix what ain't meant to break  
I just show you what's yours to take  
From the wreckage, from the pain—  
How to dance in the fucking rain

[Chorus - G major with edge, full power]
Call me Punk Healer, baby, scars and all  
I'll catch you when you're ready to fall  
Not with pillows, but with truth that stings  
I'll teach you how to grow some wings  
From the ashes, from the bone  
I'll show you how to heal alone  
But together in the dark we'll stand  
Two broken souls, hand in fucking hand

[Verse 2 - E minor, more aggressive]
You want someone to kiss it better?  
Find yourself a different setter  
I'm here to hold the mirror steady  
While you see what you're not ready

To face without anesthesia  
Your beautiful, ugly amnesia  
The parts you've buried, the parts you've killed  
Time to see what's never been healed

[Pre-Chorus 2 - C major, sharper]
I don't promise it won't hurt like hell  
But I know the stories that scars can tell  
And yours are scripture, yours are art  
Now let's go excavate your heart

[Chorus - G major, bigger]
I'm the Punk Healer, baby, scars and all  
I'll catch you when you're ready to fall  
Not with pillows, but with truth that stings  
I'll teach you how to grow some wings  
From the ashes, from the bone  
I'll show you how to heal alone  
But together in the dark we'll stand  
Two broken souls, hand in fucking hand

[Bridge - A minor, stripped down, intense]
I learned to love my jagged edges  
Made peace with all my pledges  
To never be the safe option  
Just the real one, no adoption  
Of your pain as mine to carry  
But your strength? That shit's legendary

[Breakdown - whispered, menacing]
So bring me your ugliest truth  
Your most unforgivable proof  
That you're human, that you bleed  
I'll show you how to plant the seed  
Of something wild in the wound  
Something that can't be marooned

[Final Chorus - G major, triumphant and raw]
I'm the Punk Healer, baby, come as you are  
Show me your damage, show me your scars  
I won't clean them up or make them neat  
I'll just teach you how to compete  
With your demons, with your ghosts  
Turn your pain into your boasts  
We're all broken, we're all whole  
That's the art of healing soul

[Outro - E minor, fading distortion]
"There. Now you know what you're made of.  
Get out there and fuck some shit up.  
Beautifully."
