Lyrics:

                                                  
Verse 1
Paper cuts so sharp and fine,
Tiny pale, an invisible line.
Every day another layer,
Skin so fragile, laid so bare.
Each line so clean, hard to see,
Sank within and bled out me.
A million times that paper scored,
Cruel so deep inside, all stored.

Pre-Chorus
Whispers cut like steel,
Truth no one could feel…

Chorus
How do I ease these cuts so raw,
Wounds I felt but no one saw?
I let the wild take my hand,
Let healing rise from earth and sand.
Nature holds me when I fall,
She sees every hidden scar and all.
How do I ease these cuts so raw?
I breathe them out into the dawn.

Verse 2
Every day a little score,
Words too sharp to be ignored.
Layer on layer sank beneath,
Shadows, pain you did bequeath.
But now the wind sings back to me,
Carries strength from sky to sea.
What was carved will start to fade,
Light breaks through the scars you made.

Pre-Chorus
Whispers cut like steel,
But slowly I can feel…

Chorus
How do I ease these cuts so raw,
Wounds I felt but no one saw?
I let the wild take my hand,
Let healing rise from earth and sand.
Nature holds me when I fall,
She sees every hidden scar and all.
How do I ease these cuts so raw?
I breathe them out into the dawn.

Bridge
Let the rivers wash it clean,
Let the forest take the grief,
Every step I reclaim me—
Soft and slow, I’m breaking free.

Final Chorus
How do I ease these cuts so raw?
I walk the path where new hearts grow.
And in the wild I understand—
These wounds don’t shape all that I am.
Nature mends what once was torn,
I rise again, reborn, reborn…
