[Intro]
No mask. No bargain. No going back.

[Verse 1]
They offered me a softer life,
a quieter kind of pain,
“Just bend a little, lose the edge,
you’ll fit in, you’ll be safe.”
But I can hear my old self breathe
behind my smiling face—
And every step I take for them
is miles from my own lane.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve done the math, I know the cost,
I feel it in my bones.
The world will clap for what you fake,
then leave you on your own.
So tell me, when the lights go out,
and no one’s left to judge—
What’s left of you if you gave it up?

[Chorus]
Are you ready to be strong?
Are you ready to be strong?

Are you ready to be honest?
When it costs you friends, when it costs you comfort—
Would you still stand on it?
Are you ready to be honest?
If the world wants a version of you that’s harmless—
Will you still want it?

[Verse 2]
I’ve lost some nights, I’ve lost some people,
I’ve lost the need to prove,
I traded noise for clarity,
and crowds for something true.
I’m not fearless — I’m just done
with living half-alive,
If I betray what I believe,
then I don’t survive.

[Pre-Chorus]
They’ll sell you peace in smaller dreams,
they’ll call it “being wise.”
But I won’t build my life on lies
just to feel liked tonight.
So if it’s lonely on this road—
I’ll take it, step by step.
’Cause I’d rather be broken true
than perfectly bent.

[Chorus]
Are you ready to be strong?
Are you ready to be strong?

[Bridge]
So let it hurt.
Let it burn.
Let the old world call me stubborn.
I’d rather bleed in my own shoes
than dance in someone else’s purpose.

Are you ready?

[Final Chorus]
Are you ready to be strong?
Are you ready to be strong?

Are you ready to be honest?
When it costs you friends, when it costs you comfort—
Would you still stand on it?
If the world wants a version of you that’s harmless—
Will you still want it?

[Outro]
Stay whole.
