“Healing Slow

(Intro – soft piano, dark ambient pad) Yeah… Mm… Sometimes the rain don’t wash the pain away… (Verse 1 – melodic, reflective) I been drowning in my thoughts again, Heart heavy but I smile for the camera lens, Tears fall slow but I hide ‘em in, ‘Cause where I’m from, they don’t let you bend. City lights blur through the window pane, Every blessing somehow tied to pain, I made it out but I still feel chained, Success don’t quiet what my soul can’t tame. Medium tempo when my heartbeat race, Memories hitting, I can’t escape, I talk to God but I question faith, Why the real ones gone? Why the fake ones safe? (Pre-Chorus – emotional lift) Dark synths crying in the background low, Every scar got a story nobody know, I been tryna move fast but I’m moving slow, Accelerating tears when the feelings overflow… (Chorus – melodic, vulnerable) Rain don’t heal what the hurt done broke, I was just a kid with a heavy hope, Now my voice cracked every time I spoke, All this love feel thin like smoke. Syncopated heart, it skip then glide, I keep my fears where my pride reside, Singing pain ‘cause I can’t let it slide, Smiling outside but I’m hurting inside. (Verse 2 – slight acceleration, more intensity) I remember nights I ain’t eat, just prayed, Now the table full but the joy still fade, Every dollar earned, yeah the price was paid, Lost some brothers on the path I made. Mama told me, “Son, just hold your ground,” But the silence loud when there’s no one around, Fame get bright but it don’t make sound, When you fighting demons that don’t back down. I been strong for too long, that’s truth, Carried grown man weight as a youth, Grit in my tone but it’s pain in the proof, Every verse therapy in the booth. (Bridge – stripped, almost whispered singing) If I fall, who gon’ catch me now? If I break, can I show that out loud? I been lost in a faceless crowd… Screaming soft but it sound so loud… (Final Chorus – fuller, more vocal runs) Rain don’t heal what the hurt done broke, I was just a kid with a fragile hope, Every dream feel distant, remote, Still I sing so my heart stay afloat. Syncopation in the way I cry, Accelerating when the tears won’t dry, I’m still searching for a reason why… But I’m healing slow — that’s no lie.
