Verse 1:
If this pain needs a release,
Let this sharp edge bring me peace.
If it’s the only way to feel,
Then I embrace this steel, unreal.
Ignore the tears that fall like rain,
Disregard the stakes, ignore the pain.
I find solace in the scars,
In each line, a story, among the stars.
Chorus:
Love is absent, nowhere found,
In this void, no warmth around.
Life’s demands are too profound,
Hatred’s cloak, in it I’m wound.
Never knew a day without this ache,
In the shadows, I awake.
Verse 2:
Addicted to the solace of the cut,
Underneath this weight, a door seems shut.
But hope whispers of a brighter place,
One more slice, the dark to erase.
Life’s never been kind, always a fight,
Slice through the night, seeking the light.
Chorus:
Love is absent, nowhere found,
In this void, no warmth around.
Life’s demands are too profound,
Hatred’s cloak, in it I’m wound.
Never knew a day without this ache,
In the shadows, I awake.
Bridge:
Ignore the tears, they’re just for show,
Forget the stakes, let the pain go.
Carve away the darkness, slice the dread,
Seeking paradise, where fears are shed.
Outro:
Hatred wraps me, a familiar embrace,
In its cold arms, I find my place.
Never a life without these marks,
Love is absent in the dark’s stark arcs.
No understanding, just this trace,
Of a life spent searching for grace.
