[Verse 1] I was young when the world turned cold, Left alone with no hand to hold. Just a kid in an adult’s disguise, Chasing dreams beneath clouded skies. Every step feels like sinking sand, No map to guide, no helping hand. The noise of life, it cuts so deep, But I’ve still got promises to keep. [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been lost in the static, drowning in doubt, Trying to learn what life’s all about. The walls close in, but I push away, Fighting for one more day. [Chorus] I’m at the end of my rope, But I tie a knot, not a noose. Holding on tight to hope, Though the threads are frayed and loose. In the silence, I still fight, Through the darkness, chasing light. I’m at the end of my rope, But I tie a knot, not a noose. [Verse 2] People talk, but they don’t see through, The quiet storms that I wade into. Their world’s too loud, their pace too fast, I’m a shadow that they walk right past. The weight of time bends my spine, But it won’t break what’s still mine. Though my cracks let the sorrow seep, I refuse to fall too deep. [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been caught in the echoes, lost in the gray, But I’ve learned to climb in my own way. The scars I wear, they tell my truth, Proof I’m still here... still uncouth! [Chorus] I’m at the end of my rope, But I tie a knot, not a noose. Holding on tight to hope, Though the threads are frayed and loose. In the silence, I still fight, Through the darkness, chasing light. I’m at the end of my rope, But I tie a knot, not a noose. [Bridge] This world’s a maze, I’ve walked alone, With every step, the seeds I’ve sown. I’ve built my strength from tears I cried, A fortress forged where fears collide. They’ll never see the fire inside, But it’s the reason I’ve survived. [Chorus] I’m at the end of my rope, But I tie a knot, not a noose. Holding on tight to hope, Though the threads are frayed and loose. In the silence, I still fight, Through the darkness, chasing light. I’m at the end of my rope, But I tie a knot, not a noose. [Outro] And if tomorrow feels the same, I’ll face it still, without shame. The world may bruise, the world may break, But I’ll hold on for my own sake. At the end of my rope, I choose life, I choose truth. I tie a knot, not a noose.
