Know Pain, Know Peace

Lyrics

Verse 1
Bite down
On a tongue full of rust
Every scar that I hide
Is a map of who I was
You want calm
But you run from the cut
You keep painting your smile
Over bones that are giving up

Chorus
Feel pain, accept pain, know pain
Let it burn straight through
If you never bleed
How could peace be true?
Feel pain, accept pain, know pain
Let it tear you in two
Those who never break
Never learn what wholeness can do

Verse 2
White walls
And a heart gone numb
You confuse being quiet
With a war that’s really done
Real rest
Doesn’t bargain or beg
It’s the breath that you find
When you’ve walked on broken legs

Chorus
Feel pain, accept pain, know pain
Let it burn straight through
If you never bleed
How could peace be true?
Feel pain, accept pain, know pain
Let it tear you in two
Those who never break
Never learn what wholeness can do

Bridge
Every echo
Comes from a cry
Every clear day
Learns from the sky
So take what hurts
Give it a name
Only those who know pain
Ever understand peace the same

Chorus
Feel pain, accept pain, know pain
Let it burn straight through
If you never bleed
How could peace be true?
Feel pain, accept pain, know pain
Let it live in you
Those who walk through fire
Are the ones who rest in truth
