The Suffering

There's this scene in Avatar, right
Zuko just realised that the agni kai he's about to have
Is against his own father
His paps
He says, "You will learn respect
And suffering will be your teacher"

Bad nights won't last, 'cause bad times won't pass
The suffering turned me to a monster
The suffering turned me to a conqueror
Bad nights, my chance, 'cause bad times, my habitat
The suffering taught me to be stronger (yeah)
The suffering taught me how to monster (yeah)

To attain unattainable, what's the cost?
To unbreak the unbreakable, what is lost? (What is lost?)
Heavy heart as I'm forced to stare at my faults (damn)
Carry loss, though in pain, I gotta move on

Hearts are crushed with the weight of devil's applause
Or hearts can harden to carry the weight of gods
Hearts are hardened with burdens of what is lost
We just move on, pay no mind to the pain we feel

Does that make me a monster if I don't heal?
Because the suffering to me is all that's real
If in darkness, I found my sword and my shield
Then in darkness I remain, 'til I am killed
Can I be healed?

Bad nights won't last, 'cause bad times won't pass
The suffering turned me to a monster
The suffering turned me to a conqueror
Bad nights, my chance, 'cause bad times, my habitat
The suffering taught me to be stronger (let me try say this another way)
The suffering taught me how to monster

Let it be known, had an optimistic glow
But the pain change your ways when you're dealing on your own
A dilemma had appeared in my room, all alone
End up broke or decide to take your mantle up and grow

To be crushed and defeated or be flexible and flow
But to flow, flexibility demands you break your bones
The suffering is torture and can seem to crush your soul
And the only way to rise above the pain is hold it close

Soak within it, be up in it, never ever let it go
So when suffering and pain will come again, it's all you know
Acclimated, fear the darkness in my eyes begins to show
That's the price to make it through, be bulletproof, but hard as stone

Bad nights won't last (I groan), 'cause bad times won't pass
The suffering turned me to a monster
The suffering turned me to a conqueror
Bad nights, my chance, 'cause bad times, my habitat
The suffering taught me to be stronger
The suffering taught me how to monster
