Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 You come in empty pockets, loud heart beating wild Nothing that you’re asking for, the world hits you like a child Cheap whiskey down your throat, burns truth into your chest Love and rot and sweat collide, an angel laughs at 3 a.m. Pre-Chorus No name, no ground beneath your feet Just borrowed time and broken sleep Pain arrives but tells no lies You feel it all—no place to hide Chorus Life is suffering, pieces dull Every dream gets bent or pulled Hold it close, then let it shatter You were alive when it mattered Verse 2 You own nothing—that’s the freedom Floors and promises you keep Yesterday’s mistakes your pillow Rent notice taped in crooked grief Clean punch, broken bottle Blood still honest in the night You don’t question what you’re feeling You are the fight Pre-Chorus Then numbers start to count your days Trade the fire for safer ways Sit still, nod, swallow pride Mirror turns its head aside Chorus Life is suffering, pieces dull Trade your soul for something full You want proof it wasn’t wasted You were alive when it mattered Bridge (slow, heavy) Chairs that don’t wobble Love that won’t run You want an answer From everyone You want the world To say you’re right To make it mean All those nights Breakdown Closet full of reasons But the fire’s gone cold Hands don’t shake Heart won’t break Nothing scares you anymore Quiet Chorus You feel nothing Want everything Every moment you let slip Every breath you didn’t cling Final Chorus (full) Life is suffering, pieces dull Clench too hard, it takes its toll Let go late, you’re buried after You were alive when it mattered Outro It’s not the win It’s not the loss Just bleeding enough To know the cost When it mattered.
