I Feel Like a Raw Nerve

[Instrumental Intro] I feel like a raw nerve, exposed by broken flesh. I shrink from the light because it burns, I squirm from touch because it's too much. Never did I think I would cry out to be numb. If this is growth it hurts, if this is healing I hate the feeling. Yet here I am, a wound laid bare, each heartbeat a reminder of what's there. Every whisper feels like a scream, a relentless waking dream. [Instrumental solo] Beneath the surface a silent storm where pain dwells. A painful path and lives lived in shells. One day the light won't burn as bright, and touch wont feel like a fight. This raw nerve will start to mend, a scar forming where pain did end. For in this suffering I will find strength. [Instrumental outro]
