Hurt

erse 1:

In broken pictures, the story used to be so clear

One moment, folded in laughter, the next drowning in my tears

Cheap liquor and coded whispers, echoes of an empty cheer

One minute I'm the portrait's pride, next lost in the rear

Laced with shadows of past trauma, the taste of past deceit

Memories rising like a specter, consigning me to defeat

A family painting, rich and whole, but I'm the misfit piece

One minute in the portrait’s frame, the next I’m just deceased

Chorus:

Feeling the sting of being left out, it's more than I can bear

Drenched in hurt, soaked in pain, gasping for a breath of care

Invisible chains, unspoken names, raw emotions we can't share

One minute I'm part of the family, next, I'm thinning air

Verse 2:

Trapped in a puzzle of confusion, where love and hate collide

A dysfunctional illusion, where truth and lies coincide

A bruised soul, dancing on the edge, with nowhere else to hide

One minute I'm their lighthouse, next I'm lost in the raging tide

Cloaked in a silent battle, with my own twisted mind,

A game where sanity is rattled, and peace I can't find,

One minute I'm their precious jewel, next, I'm left behind,

The tale of a messed-up family, where love is undefined.

Chorus:

Feeling the weight of rejection, it's a heavy burden to bear

Deep in hurt, steeped in pain, craving for a hint of care

Fragile threads, tangled hopes, broken promises in the air,

One minute I'm part of the family, next, I'm a vacant stare.

Outro:

But still, I'll rise from these embers, and not just exist but thrive,

Turn this hurt into healing, from this pain, I’ll derive

Strength to face my demons, courage to survive,

I won't just be a flawed piece, but the heart of the family hive
