Lyric

I had plans. I had fear

I had doubts loud in my ear

I had storms. I had shame

But truth is—I stayed the same

Said I’d begin—next week, next year

Called it fate, but it was fear

Wore my silence like a crown

Every promise—I let it drown

Hit replay on dreams I stalled

Slept through chances, blamed it all

Not bad luck, not wrong place—

Just scared stiff, stuck in place

I talked like flames, but I moved like dust

Dressed up fear in words I trust

I chased loud dreams I’d never claim

And broke my will in my own name

I had a reason. Every damn time

Thought I was wise—but I just lied

Built my prison, brick by line

“Maybe next time” was my sign

I had a reason—don’t we all?

But reasons shrink you when you stall

If I don’t move, I lose my light—

So burn it down. No more alibis

I said “they’d laugh”—that was my script

Watched them fly while I backflipped

I called my fear “just being wise,”

Built alibis like lullabies

Blamed the noise, blamed the scene—

But I was the ghost behind the screen

Said I’d leap when stars aligned—

Just scared of truth: “Now is mine.”

What if I let the silence break?

What if I fall for my own sake?

What if I fight and still come last?

What if this step outruns the past?

I had a reason—every damn time

But that voice? That coward? Wasn’t mine

I carved a cell out of delay

Now I scream—burn it all away!

I had a reason—but no more fall

I rise, I punch right through that wall

If I don’t move, I die inside—

So light it up. No more alibis

No more storms. No more shame

I don’t wait. I light the flame

No more “later.” No disguise

I move

No more alibis
