Hunger Is Temporary, Trauma Is Forever by Bguh

[Intro – Atmospheric Clean Guitar, Distant Whisper] Hunger fades away... But some wounds never heal. You can silence the screaming, But you can't erase what I feel. [Verse 1 – Soft, Emotional Male Vocal] An empty stomach, another cold night A broken home where we learned to fight They said, "Be strong, you'll be alright" But nobody saw the tears I cried I wore a smile to hide the pain Walked through the fire, danced in the rain The years moved on, the scars remained Some things get better, some never change [Pre-Chorus – Gradually Building] You can give me bread You can give me gold But you can't erase The things I was told [Chorus – Powerful Full Band] Hunger is temporary, trauma is forever A thousand broken pieces don't always come together You can fill an empty stomach But you can't heal a shattered soul Some wounds are never visible But they never let you go Hunger is temporary, trauma is forever We were torn apart when we should've been together You can survive the winter You can make it through the storm But the child who learned to fear May never feel safe anymore [Verse 2 – Stronger Drums and Guitars] A slammed door still can make me shake A raised voice brings back every mistake I'm grown now, but inside my mind There's a frightened kid I left behind They call it history, tell me to move on As if the damage disappears at dawn But memories whisper beneath my skin Reminding me where the hurt begins [Pre-Chorus – Rising Intensity] You can change the day You can change the place But the past still haunts The corners of my brain [Chorus – Heavy Guitars, Powerful Drums] Hunger is temporary, trauma is forever A thousand broken pieces don't always come together You can fill an empty stomach But you can't heal a shattered soul Some wounds are never visible But they never let you go Hunger is temporary, trauma is forever We were torn apart when we should've been together You can survive the winter You can make it through the storm But the child who learned to fear May never feel safe anymore [Bridge – Half-Time Drums, Raw Vocal] Don't tell me that I'm weak For the battles that I fight You never heard the silence Of a child awake at night Give the hungry something to eat Give the lonely somewhere to belong And if you see a soul that's breaking Don't become the reason for the song [Breakdown – Heavy Guitar, Shouted Vocals] Feed the body! Heal the mind! Leave no broken child behind! Pain is real! The scars remain! Love can help us break the chain! [Final Chorus – Biggest Sound, Backing Vocals] Hunger is temporary, trauma is forever But maybe broken hearts can learn to heal together Give a child some kindness Give them somewhere safe to grow You may never see the damage That your careless words can sow Hunger is temporary, trauma is forever Let's build a world where we protect each other We can't rewrite yesterday But tomorrow's ours to make Let compassion be the promise That no child is left to break [Outro – Soft Piano, Clean Guitar Fade] Hunger fades away... The memories may stay... But with love, with time, with care Maybe healing starts today. Hunger is temporary... Trauma doesn't have to be forever. [End – Instrumental Fade Out]
