Arachne - Nothing Hurts Like Peace

Verse 1

I walked away with the storm still raging
Bit my tongue but my spine stayed straight
You threw sparks, hoping I’d be blazing
But I lit a fire in a better place

I could’ve screamed, I could’ve shattered
But silence cuts sharper than blame
You were the noise
Now I’m the calm you can’t name

Chorus

I don’t hate you — you don’t get that kind of power
I left with grace — and nothing hurts like peace
I don’t break down — I bloom like wildflowers
You’ll miss the fight
But I sleep like a queen

Verse 2

You begged for war, but I gave you distance
Turned my rage into radiant skin
You’ll tell them all that I just went missing
But baby, this glow — it’s what healing lives in

You wanted pain, but I chose freedom
A softer blade that you’ll never see
No revenge
Just the life you don’t get to keep

Chorus

I don’t hate you — you don’t get that kind of power
I left with grace — and nothing hurts like peace
I don’t look back — I rise by the hour
You’ll miss control
But I sing in release

Let the silence echo louder
Than the words we never said
I am not your battlefield
I am not your end

Chorus

I don’t hate you — you don’t get that kind of power
I left with grace — and nothing hurts like peace
I don’t break down — I bloom like wildflowers
You lost the war
The moment I found me
