[Intro]
There’s a part of me that don’t flinch at pain,
That stares in silence when the blood stains.
Other half just wanna breathe without breakin’.
But every thought feel like a cage shakin’.
I don’t know which side’s me—just which one wins that day.
[Verse 1]
Got wars in my mind, no medals, just wounds
Tryna tread light but my brain go boom
Heartbeat heavy like a bassline drop
Every calm thought get lit and shot
Mirror show a man, but I see a beast
Jaw clenched tight, barely keepin’ peace
Is it trauma or the clique I bled with?
Backseat heat, too young for that sentence
I ain’t ask for this — but it’s wired in
Every trigger word pull a fire pin
Mama said I was good, but I feel foul
Was I born with a storm or did it grow wild?
[Hook]
Tell me why I rage like the world owe me
Like every breath’s war, like peace don’t know me
Tryna hold on, but the grip feel fake
Might snap from the weight or the moves I make
Got devils in my dome and they dance in sync
Is it nature? Nurture? Or the way I think?
[Verse 2]
I don’t glorify pain, but I marinate in it
Tryna be better but the dark thoughts win it
Keep a blade in my grin when I talk to myself
Like, “Bury that heart, leave love on the shelf”
I was raised on cold—neglect and shame
Now I see red in the pourin’ rain
Was I just made to break? Molded wrong?
Like my code’s all glitch and my roots too strong?
I don’t know peace, just brief distractions
The quiet before my violent reactions
I don’t want war, but war want me
Like a ghost with a grin tryna haunt my sleep
[Hook]
Tell me why I rage like the world owe me
Like every breath’s war, like peace don’t know me
Tryna hold on, but the grip feel fake
Might snap from the weight or the moves I make
Got devils in my dome and they dance in sync
Is it nature? Nurture? Or the way I think?
[Bridge]
Yeah I dream of better, but I wake to the static
Hands twitch fast, thoughts so erratic
Tryna play nice but I’m wired to react
Can’t shake the past when it’s clawed in my back
All the hurt that built me, carved me deep
Now I bleed every time that I try to sleep
A product of the pain or a flaw in the frame?
Either way, I burn like a moth to flame
[Outro]
So if I snap, don’t ask “what’s wrong?”
Just know I been holdin’ back too long
Every scar I carry got a story in blood
And I still smile through the dirt and the mud
Maybe I was made for war in the brain
But I’m still here, tryna walk through rain
