Lyric

I freeze, I can’t feel my own skin

I breathe —

But the air won’t fill my chest again

Somewhere laughter, somewhere song

And I’m just trying to push the pain along

The moment strikes — darkness fills my eyes

Teeth clenched tight, I taste the blood inside

I try to face this hurt somehow…

But only a groan escapes me now

Again — inhale, again — exhale

Again — a scream, again — a silent trail

Again — I fall, again — I rise

Again — the pain…

Again — the pain…

And again, I step into the dark

Where the chains of hurt have gripped my heart

But I won’t break, I’ll walk through the night

Through the thorns that life has tied so tight

Between the pain and hope — thin ice I slide

My body weeps, but still I fight

I search my heart for strength to endure

Even when the hurt feels raw and pure

Again — fear, again — a trembling soul

Again — "no," again — "maybe," taking hold

Again — the day, again — the night

Again — the pain…

Again — the pain…

And again, I step into the dark

Where the chains of hurt have gripped my heart

But I won’t break, I’ll walk through the night

Through the thorns that life has tied so tight

Let the veins snap like strings of steel

The wind in my ribs, icy and real

I’ll crawl, I’ll grit my teeth and fight

Until I find myself in the light

Pain is not a cross, not a prize

It only makes you stronger inside

And one day will come without the weight

A day without the heavy ache

And again, I step into the dark

Where the chains of hurt have gripped my heart

But I won’t break, I’ll walk through the night

Through the thorns that life has tied so tight

And if it never ends… should I just not breathe?

No… I don’t need the light at the tunnel’s edge

I’ll burn all chains, destroy the walls

I’ll survive… I’ll escape the pain…

I’ll rise again
