Tension is building in the air, it needs somewhere to land. I don’t wait to hear the shape of it, I act before I understand. Dissolve the threat quickly, Before it starts to grow. I step forward without asking This is the only way I know. I’ll take it. Nothing needs to be said, I’ll take it So it doesn't raise the stakes, I’ll take it To keep it contained, I’ll take it... So it doesn't escalate. I learned early what works, How to keep the moment small. If I shoulder it myself, There’s no fallout at all. No voices raised, no damage done, No questions left to chase. It costs less to disappear Than to hold my place. I’ll take it. Nothing needs to be said, I’ll take it So it doesn't raise the stakes, I’ll take it To keep it contained, I’ll take it... So it doesn't escalate. This keeps things calm... This keeps it clean... This lets us move on... It’s easier this way. I’ll take it. Just add it to the rest. I’ll take it I don’t stop to check the cost. I’ll take it I don’t slow it down. I’ll take it... We can move on now. I’ll carry this too...
