[Verse]
Pain's a teacher with a heavy hand
It carves its lessons in the sand
Soft whispers never leave a scar
But screams will show you who you are
[Chorus]
Pain knows
Pain shows
What peace could never teach
It cuts
It grows
Takes you just out of reach
Pain knows
Pain shows
The truths beneath your speech
[Verse 2]
Peace is quiet
A velvet lie
But pain's the flame that burns the sky
It rips your heart
It makes you crawl
Then builds you back to stand it all
[Prechorus]
It doesn’t ask
It doesn’t wait
It hands you lessons wrapped in fate
[Chorus]
Pain knows
Pain shows
What peace could never teach
It cuts
It grows
Takes you just out of reach
Pain knows
Pain shows
The truths beneath your speech
[Bridge]
Oh
The sting of the blade
Oh
The light in the shade
It’s the shadow that stays
When the easy things fade
