**[Verse 1]** Been living in my head too long Building walls from right and wrong Made a fortress, locked the door Now can't see the sun no more My gut's been screaming, I've been deaf Choosing safety over breath Called it smart, called it right Just another way to kill the light **[Pre-Chorus]** The doubt screams 'you're not ready' But my heart pounds fast, I'm steady! **[Chorus]** Realizing life was never a race Excitedly exploring this lively space The mud will settle when I stop the fight Nothing stays, and that's alright I can pay the price, I'll learn to feel The only way out is to make it real **[Verse 2]** The thinker posed to be a sage Turned out he just built a cage While the doer tried to give Called him stupid, wouldn't let him live But that ache inside my chest Isn't fear—it's what's suppressed Untapped power, burning bright Angry that I wouldn't fight **[Pre-Chorus]** The doubt screams "you're not ready" But my heart pounds fast and steady **[Chorus]** Realizing life was never a race Excitedly exploring this lively space The mud will settle when I stop the fight Nothing stays, and that's alright I can pay the price, I'll learn to feel The only way out is to make it real **[Bridge - Quiet, Building]** *(Softer, tension building)* Less thinking, more feeling Less knowing, more healing The schedule serves me now Not the other way around I don't need permission I don't need the vision Just one breath, one step Into worlds I haven't met **[Bridge - Explosion]** *(Exploding back full force)* **I'M DONE WITH THE LOOPS!** **I'M BREAKING THROUGH!** **[Final Chorus]** Realizing life was never a race Excitedly exploring this lively space The thoughts will come, I'll let them pass Nothing's permanent, nothing lasts I'll pay the price and I'll be fine The doer's love was always mine **[Outro]** *(Fading, raw)* Back to feeling... (back to feeling) Back to feeling... (back to feeling) Back to feeling... I'm already home
