Raw and Real

[Intro] [Verse 1] Morning light cracks through the blinds, Another day to chase what’s left behind. Scuffed-up shoes and a coffee cup, A silent storm where the pain stacks up. Whispers rise from the kitchen floor, “How much longer can I f***t this w*r?” But the mirror knows what my hands won’t say— These cracks are roads to a brighter day. [Chorus] Sing it raw, sing it real, Let the truth bend how you feel. Scars are maps where the light has been, Every wound’s a hymn to mend. Oh, this soul ain’t polished gold, It’s the dirt, the grind, the stories untold. [Verse 2] Empty pockets, but my heart’s a vault, A thousand losses, still I stumble forward. Streetlights flicker like fading hope, But I’m stitching dreams with this fraying rope. Tears dry faster when you sing ‘em loud, Turn the ache into a melody proud. The clock ticks on, but I’m learning slow— The darkest nights let the fireflies glow. [Chorus] Sing it raw, sing it real, Let the truth bend how you feel. Scars are maps where the light has been, Every wound’s a hymn to mend. Oh, this soul ain’t polished gold, It’s the dirt, the grind, the stories untold. [Bridge] Rise like dust from a broken road, Honesty’s the only weight I hold. No shiny lies to gloss the grind, Just a heartbeat keeping time. [Outro]
