[verse 1. tight flow. sharp percussion] I been waitin on a lifeline, sittin in my own smoke cloud. Talkin big talk, but the echo never hits loud. Lookin for a hero like the sky owed me light. Truth hit quick like a left hook fight. Every time I froze, I blamed the ice on the room. But it melted when I moved, so the frost was my doom. You can lie to the world, but your mind keeps score. I was knockin on a door I built into my own floor. [pre chorus. half sung. half growled] I kept prayin for a break in the pain. Then I learned I was drivin my own runaway train. [chorus. raw. emotional] No one saves us but ourselves. I carved that truth across my scars like bells. If I want the climb, then I gotta hit the dirt. If I want the healing, I gotta face the hurt. Ain’t nobody walkin out my fire for me. I burn. I rise. I walk till I’m free. [verse 2. fast. biting delivery] I blamed everybody when the mirror felt sharp. Pointed every direction just to dodge my part. Truth is simple, but simple cuts deep. So I buried it low where my secrets sleep. Then I cracked that ground with the weight of choice. Heard my fear talk back in my younger voice. Said “you never gonna change,” but I broke that claim. Lit a match in my chest till it sparked my name. [pre chorus. breath tight. drums drop] I kept beggin for a hand through the mess. Till I learned that the strength I needed lived in my stress. [chorus. bigger. angrier. hopeful] No one saves us but ourselves. I carved that truth across my scars like bells. If I want the climb, then I gotta hit the dirt. If I want the healing, I gotta face the hurt. Ain’t nobody walkin out my fire for me. I burn. I rise. I walk till I’m free. [bridge. spoken. tense. minimal beat] Every step I take is a battle with my doubt. Every thought I fix is a flame I stomp out. I ain’t waitin for a rescue that never arrives. If I want a life, then I build my life. [final chorus. explosive. full band energy] No one saves us but ourselves. I shout that truth till the fear dispels. If I want the climb, then I gotta make the start. If I want the courage, I gotta break my heart. Ain’t nobody walkin out my fire for me. I burn. I rise. I walk till I’m free. [outro. whispered. fading distortion] Walkin out my own fire. One step at a time.
