Lyric

I keep an exit button in my pocket

Not to press, just to know it’s there

Every mirror lies a little different

When you stop begging it to care

The clock don’t scare me like it used to

Minutes lost their sharpest teeth

Funny how the weight gets lighter

When you loosen your grip on me

I’m not brave, I’m not broken

I just stopped pretending I’m owned

By tomorrow’s expectations

Or the debts my fear was loaned

If I can leave at any moment

Why the hell would I waste today

When the door is always open

I finally learned how to stay

I walk the edge but I don’t fall

I build my fire from the cold

Knowing I could end it all

Is the reason I keep going on

People sell hope like medicine

Sugar pills for sleepless nights

I read the label, saw the dosage

Side effects include a life

I stopped asking for permission

From the ghosts inside my head

They scream less when I remind them

I don’t owe them being dead

I don’t need a grand salvation

No clean hands, no halo glow

Just the truth that choice is power

Even when you don’t let go

If I can leave at any moment

Why the hell would I waste today

When the door is always open

I finally learned how to stay

I walk the edge but I don’t fall

I build my fire from the cold

Knowing I could end it all

Is the reason I keep going on

This isn’t romance with the void

It’s a contract I rewrote

I stare down the abyss

So I don’t live like a ghost

Fear used to hold the knife

Now it just watches me breathe

Turns out the thought of dying

Taught me how alive to be

No countdown, no dramatic scene

Just a quieter mind

When you stop clinging to the ground

You learn how to climb

If I can leave at any moment

I choose to stay another day

Not because I’m scared of ending

But I’ve got more left to say

I walk the edge but I don’t fall

I finally feel in control

Knowing I could end it all

Is what makes me want it all

Exit button in my pocket

Still untouched, still real

I don’t live because I have to

I live because I can feel
