Lyric

I got used to the broke, let it live in my bones

Made a home in the cold, thought that’s just how it goes

When you sleep in survival, you call it a choice

But the quiet gets loud when you mute your own voice

Counted coins like a clock, every tick felt the same

Watchin’ shine from a distance, call it luck, call it fate

I’d say “I’m fine” with a half-hearted smile

When the truth was I’d been tired for a long little while

I was jealous of the light, not the work that it took

Hated pages in the book when I judged by the look

Saw ‘em win, felt a sting, felt my chest get tight

Said “they’re different from me” just to sleep at night

Turned envy into poison, let it sit in my veins

When it should’ve been a signal sayin’ “get in the game.”

Every star I looked at was a mirror I broke

’cause it showed me the path and I chose not to go

I said “tomorrow” like a promise

Said “someday” like a shield

But the truth is every later

Was a wound I never healed

Someday kills when you use it to hide

Tomorrow lies, keeps you stuck inside

Turn the envy into energy

Turn the fear into clarity

If the world is a bright open sky

I’m done watchin’— I’m learnin’ to fly

I ain’t mad at the rich, I’m ashamed of the pause

All the time that I wasted makin’ peace with my flaws

’Cause there’s work in the dark, there’s a price for the sun

And the only real loss is the run you don’t run

Now I stand in the mess with my hands in the air

Sayin’ “this is the moment I stop bein’ scared.”

No more excuses dressed up as control

I don’t wait for a sign—

I decide, then I go

Someday kills, so I bury the word

Tomorrow fades— I’m in now, I’ve learned

Turn the envy into energy

Turn my past into currency

If the world is a bright open sky

Hear me say it— I’m alive, I’m alive
