Made of pain

Verse 1 (low, restrained)

Even flowers born in fire

Still reach for something clean

I learned early how to suffer

Before I learned what hope could mean

Every scar still speaks my name

Every breath still tastes the flame

I didn’t choose this kind of life

But pain was the one that stayed

Pre-Chorus (building tension)

I don’t know peace

I don’t know safe

I only know how to survive the weight

CHORUS (HUGE, explosive)

I WAS MADE OF PAIN

IT RAISED ME FROM THE GROUND

TAUGHT ME HOW TO BREATHE

WHEN EVERYTHING BURNED DOWN

I DON’T TRUST HAPPY

IT NEVER STICKS AROUND

I WAS MADE OF PAIN

AND IT WON’T LET ME DOWN

Verse 2 (stronger, angrier)

I learned to bloom inside the dark

Learned to smile through the worst

Found comfort in the chaos

Found rhythm in the hurt

Now when something good gets close

My hands don’t know what to do

Happiness feels like a lie

I don’t recognize the truth

Pre-Chorus 2

My heart only beats in absence

Only speaks when something’s gone

CHORUS (repeat, louder)

I WAS MADE OF PAIN

IT FEELS LIKE HOME TO ME

I DON’T KNOW WHO I AM

WITHOUT THE MISERY

DON’T CALL IT HEALING

WHEN IT MAKES ME WEAK

I WAS MADE OF PAIN

AND PAIN MADE ME ME

BRIDGE (drop instruments → voice cracks → then BOOM)

Maybe I’m afraid of silence

Maybe calm feels like defeat

If I stop bleeding, stop fighting

Who the hell am I underneath?

(pause)

I don’t know how to live without it.

FINAL CHORUS (full band, goosebumps)

I WAS MADE OF PAIN

AND I’M STILL STANDING HERE

IF THIS IS SURVIVAL

THEN I’VE PAID IN FEAR

BUT IF THERE’S A LIGHT

I’LL CRAWL THROUGH THE FLAMES

‘CAUSE I WAS MADE OF PAIN

BUT I WON’T DIE THE SAME

Outro (slow, haunting)

I was made of pain…

But I’m reaching anyway.
