[opening mirage] humming under dim light, breathing like the night might crack, soft strings circling the quiet, waiting for the weight to come back. [spoken] “every time I stand up, life swings again.” [hook preview] i just wanna catch a break, one minute where the world don’t shake, one heartbeat that don’t feel fake, one step that don’t slip away… [verse 1] been running through the hours with a mind that won’t slow, pressure on my chest like the world won’t let go. thought i had a plan but the plan turned ghost, lost in the noise where the doubts speak most. still i rise, even cracked, even bruised, trying to make peace with the parts i lose. metal in the strum when my hands lock tight, shaking but i’m ready for another fight. pulling every breath from the floor inside, climbing through the dark where my fears collide. [pre-chorus] breathe it in, feel the shift, i’m right here on the edge of it. [chorus] i just wanna catch a break, something real that i can take, something steady i can make from the ruins in my way. every day another weight, every night another ache, but i still rise even if i shake, i just wanna catch a break. [post-chorus] catch a break… catch a break… [verse 2] strings hit heavy like a pulse through bone, echo in the room when i stand alone. life cuts deep when the truth breaks skin, but the cuts make space where the light gets in. drop back down to a softer tone, melodies wrap around the ache i own. all my flaws in a quiet parade, marching through the noise of the choices i made. still i chase what the daylight brings, still i fight every doubt that stings. [bridge 1] time slows, shadows bend, i listen for the sound that helps me mend. [rap surge] i fall, get up, repeat the climb, push through pain in the back of my mind, drag my fears to the front of the line, break these limits i swore were mine. step through storms i never chose, carry bruises nobody knows, hold my ground when the pressure grows. this is the rise, this is the strike, this is the part where i take my life. [cinematic breakdown] guitar lights flicker in a trembling haze, breath cuts short through the distant blaze. i hear myself in the quiet frame, saying every loss still shapes my name. [mega-chorus] i just wanna catch a break, one moment where my hands don’t shake, one truth that doesn’t ricochet, one hope that doesn’t slip away. even if the world don’t wait, even if the nights feel late, i’ll keep walking through the weight, i just wanna catch a break. [alt-rock outrun bridge] running uphill with a fading light, chasing the dawn through another night. [final chorus] i just wanna catch a break, this time i won’t hesitate, i’ll rise even if i break, i’ll rise even if it aches. [fade] humming returns, soft but awake, breathing slow, waiting to catch a break.
