[Verse 1]
Scarred knuckles
Cracked phone
I was begging for a heartbeat
Got a dial tone
You were frost on the window
In my hell-hot home
Now I sleep with the light off
Talk to the unknown
Took my trust
Turned it into your trophy
Said I was too much
You were just too lonely
Now every red flag
Looking holy
I was praying to a stranger
Who never really chose me
[Chorus]
I bare the pain
Let it burn in my veins
All this rage, all this ache
I turn it into chains you can’t break
You left me torn
But I’m born again
I don’t bend, I don’t beg
I stand for my blood
I bare the pain
[Verse 2]
Yeah I yearned for love
You just craved attention
Signed my name in your storms
Now I’m your worst dimension
Got my brother on my side
Sister with the blade tongue
We the ones who never fold
Even when our backs done
Every tear that I swallowed
Built armor on my bones
Every lie you ever hollowed
Now a verse in my throne
You can keep your little kingdom
Made of hints and half-truths
I got war in my chest
And a fearless youth
[Chorus]
I bare the pain
Let it burn in my veins
All this rage, all this ache
I turn it into chains you can’t break
You left me torn
But I’m born again
I don’t bend, I don’t beg
I stand for my blood
I bare the pain
[Bridge]
This is for the ones who stayed
When I broke down, broke late (yeah)
When my ribs felt like a cage
They were there, holding weight
Cut me once, I’ll heal slow
Cut my family, I’ll explode (hey!)
I’m the grave of what we were
And the fire on this road
[Chorus]
I bare the pain
Let it burn in my veins
All this rage, all this ache
I turn it into chains you can’t break
You left me torn
But I’m born again
I don’t bend, I don’t beg
I stand for my blood
I bare the pain
