circles and pain

[Opening Verse] I came from the nights when the tears wouldn't dry, Had a storm in my chest with a fire in my eyes, Life said, “Stay down,” I said, “Watch me get up,” Had my back to the wall, still I never gave up. I wore pain like a chain, turned the weight into gold, Had a heart full of scars but it never got cold, Every setback hit hard, every loss left a mark, But I learned how to shine when they buried me in dark. Now I walk with the ghosts of the battles I won, Got the past on my back, but I’m chasing the sun, If the world wants to test me, let it bring what it brings— I came from the nights when the tears wouldn't dry, Had a storm in my chest with a fire in my eyes, Life said, “Stay down,” I said, “Watch me get up,” Had my back to the wall, still I never gave up. I wore pain like a chain, turned the weight into gold, Had a heart full of scars but it never got cold, Every setback hit hard, every loss left a mark, But I learned how to shine when they buried me in dark. Now I walk with the ghosts of the battles I won, Got the past on my back, but I’m chasing the sun, If the world wants to test me, let it bring what it brings— I was built in the struggle, now I’m ready for anything.[Verse] Round and round, same road, same pain, Different day, but it feels the same, I keep chasing exits, but they disappear, Running from my past, but it’s always right here. I take two steps forward, get pulled back three, Got the world on my shoulders, but I’m begging to breathe, Every door that I open leads back to the start, Like I’m trapped in a maze with a map in my heart. I scream, “Let me out!” but the walls don’t move, Try to change my life, but I’m stuck in the groove, Feel helpless, feel hopeless, like I’m losing control— Going in circles, trying to find my way home.
