pain is all i known

[Verse 1]

Check the blueprint, yeah, the spine’s got a curve

Static in the signals, fire in the nerve

Fibro hitting like a ghost in the machine

Waking up exhausted, if you know what I mean

My back’s an 'S' but I’m standing on a '1'

Battle with the body before the day has even begun

They see me moving, they don't see the sparks

The invisible weight leaving invisible marks.

 

[Chorus]

Five times in the ER, sixty days on the clock

White lights, cold floors, waiting for the doc

But I don't break, nah, I just recalibrate

Turning every ache into a brand new state

I’m evolving, I’m changing the design

I still walk the path, even with a crooked line

Yeah, I use it, I mold it, I make it mine.

 

[Verse 2]

Most people break when the pressure starts to climb

I’ve been in the triage five separate times

Wristbands like trophies, IVs for the pain

But every single visit adds a link to the chain

I learned to read the storm before the clouds appear

I turned my greatest weakness into how I steer

I don't walk like you, I walk with a purpose

Everything I’ve been through is rising to the surface.

 

[Bridge]

It’s not a limitation, it’s a sensory upgrade

I’m forged in the fire of the choices I’ve made

The pain is a teacher, the curve is a bend

In a road that’s got no beginning or end

I’m not "getting by," I’m learning to thrive

I’m the most evolved version of a human alive.

[Outro]

Five times down, six times up

Keep pouring the strength in a cracked-up cup

Still walking.

Still evolving.

Yeah.
