[Intro]
In the gut of the night, I hear a drumbeat bite, ooh
[Verse 1]
Stomach punched by a memory, swift and sly
Like thunder in a quiet room, I brace my tides
Waning light through the window, a small old sigh
I ride the ache, I’m learning how to survive
[Pre-Chorus]
But I won’t crumble, I’ll stand up and breathe
Find a rhythm in the ache, a reason to believe
[Chorus]
Stomach punch, but I won’t stay down, I’ll rise
Digest the past, let the future harmonize
Heart keeps beating, stubborn in the skies
I’ll turn this hit into fuel for the trying highs
[Verse 2]
Pressure folds like paper, then unfolds anew
I write my way through the ache with a careful view
The storm may press its memory, but I press through
Growing tougher, softer at the same time too
[Pre-Chorus]
I won’t crumble, I’ll stand up and breathe
Find a rhythm in the ache, a reason to believe
[Chorus]
Stomach punch, but I won’t stay down, I’ll rise
Digest the past, let the future harmonize
Heart keeps beating, stubborn in the skies
I’ll turn this hit into fuel for the trying highs
[Bridge]
Every ache a teacher, every scar a guide
I’m stitching strength from the hurt I’ve survived
[Chorus]
Stomach punch, but I won’t stay down, I’ll rise
Digest the past, let the future harmonize
Heart keeps beating, stubborn in the skies
I’ll turn this hit into fuel for the trying highs
[Outro]
Breath by breath, I walk into the light
The punch becomes a push toward what’s right
