Synthetic Souls - Alive Enough to Hurt

A figure stands slightly out of sync with the world — breathing, moving, existing just enough to be noticed by pain.
The city keeps shining flawlessly, polished and efficient, pretending nothing ever cracks.

But something inside refuses to smooth over.

The lights don’t reach.
They slide past.
They leave no warmth behind.

Every surface looks finished, while the inside remains raw and unfinished.
Emotions aren’t erased — they’re throttled.
Not gone — just delayed.

This track follows a mind that didn’t disappear when it was supposed to.
A body still reacting.
A pulse still misfiring.
An ache that refuses to be optimized away.

The world keeps moving clean and fast, but awareness lags behind — sharp, intrusive, undeniable.
Pain becomes the last uncompressed signal.
The last thing that still feels real.

There is no rescue here.
No healing arc.
Only the quiet decision to stay present — even if it hurts.

This song is about survival without comfort, awareness without relief, and the moment when pain stops being a problem and starts becoming proof — proof that something human is still active beneath the glow.

The system keeps running.
The lights keep lying.
But something still hurts — and that’s enough.

Tonight, survival isn’t beautiful.
It’s conscious.

Lyrics — “Alive Enough to Hurt”

Verse 1
Something in me twitches when I breathe,
Like I’m not supposed to notice it.
My pulse keeps missing every cue,
Running late inside my ribs.
Light touches everything but me,
Slides off like I’m not here.
I don’t feel broken —
I feel left.

Pre-Chorus
The world doesn’t slow for anyone,
It just keeps polishing the surface.
I learned how to pass for “okay”
While something inside keeps burning up.

Chorus
I’m alive enough to hurt —
That’s how I know I didn’t disappear.
Every glow cuts a little deeper,
Every night feels too clear.
I’m alive enough to hurt,
Still wired, still aware.
If this ache is all that’s left of me —
Then don’t take it. I’m here.

Verse 2
My reflection doesn’t answer back,
Just watches me try to exist.
I’ve mastered staying operational,
Not feeling is the trick.
Hope knocks once, then leaves me hanging,
Like it never meant to stay.
I don’t wait for better days —
I just survive today.

Pre-Chorus
The city breathes in neutral tones,
Like pain was edited out.
But something in my chest keeps fighting,
Breaking rhythm, breaking doubt.

Chorus
I’m alive enough to hurt —
Not healed, not numb, not safe.
Every shine feels overdosed,
Every night decays.
I’m alive enough to hurt,
Still connected, still aware.
If this pain is the proof I’m real —
Then let it tear. I’m here.

Bridge
Don’t smooth it out.
Don’t optimize me.
Pain is the last thing that sounds like me.
If I’m still shaking in the dark,
Then the system didn’t win.
I don’t need relief.
I don’t need heaven.
I just need to feel my blood again.

Final Chorus
I’m alive enough to hurt,
That’s the line I never crossed.
I didn’t heal, I didn’t glow —
But I wasn’t lost.
I’m alive enough to hurt,
Still unfinished, still aware.
If this ache is what keeps me human —
Then let it burn. I’m here.

Outro
The lights pull back.
The noise goes thin.
Something’s still moving
Under my skin.
