LEARNED HELPLESSNESS

[Intro] (instrumental) [Chorus 1] LEARNED HELPLESSNESS Can't move, can't breathe, can't win Wired to lose before I begin Trapped inside my self-made skin LEARNED HELPLESSNESS The door is open but I stay in Knew the exit, felt the drain Learned to lose, learned to remain [Verse 1] Woke up early with a reason to move Sat back down before I found the groove Hands on the door but the door felt sealed Every plan I made already repealed Ran the math on every move I'd make Calculated every risk before the break Knew the answer before I asked the question Killed the engine before ignition [Pre-Chorus 1] Not afraid of failing anymore Afraid of trying — that's the real score [Chorus 2] LEARNED HELPLESSNESS Can't move, can't breathe, can't win Wired to lose before I begin Trapped inside my self-made skin LEARNED HELPLESSNESS The door is open but I stay in Knew the exit, felt the drain Learned to lose, learned to remain [Verse 2] Built a ceiling out of every no I heard Plastered over every almost, every word Trained the brain to kill the spark before it lit Wired the doubt so deep I couldn't quit Every open door looked like a trap Every forward move felt like a relapse Memorized the sting before the hit Now the body flinches before the whip [Pre-Chorus 2] Nothing's stopping me but me Nothing's locked — I lost the key [Chorus 3] LEARNED HELPLESSNESS Can't move, can't breathe, can't win Wired to lose before I begin Trapped inside my self-made skin LEARNED HELPLESSNESS The door is open but I stay in Knew the exit, felt the drain Learned to lose, learned to remain [Guitar Solo] (instrumental) [Bridge] But the wall was never real Just a scar that learned to feel Just a signal burned inside A lie I chose to let decide Time to cut the wire loose No more training, no more noose Break the pattern, break the chain Never learned to lose again [Last Chorus] LEARNED HELPLESSNESS I move, I breathe, I win I am the exit I couldn't find within Breaking every wall I built my skin LEARNED HELPLESSNESS The door is open, I'm walking in No more drain, no more remain I unlearned everything I've been [Outro] (instrumental)
