Pain (EP)

Pain is the rawest and most personal project from Word Rat yet—a five-track journey through heartbreak, failure, and hope. Every song lays bare a different side of struggle: betrayal from friends (Heart Full of Lies), spiritual backsliding (Sleep Walk), the grief of losing a loved one (Step Dad), and the weight of carrying hurt you can’t fix on your own. The title track, Pain, sets the tone with honesty and grit, while the closer, Have Your Way, brings the story full circle—surrendering all suffering, sin, and brokenness to God’s greater purpose.

Blending trap, rock, and blues influences with passionate delivery, Word Rat refuses to sugarcoat the fight of faith. Instead, this EP reminds listeners that even in the middle of loss, weakness, and disappointment, Jesus is still near—and He can turn even the deepest wounds into testimony.
