歌詞

I was born between a doubt and a dream

Saw the world through a cracked TV screen

Every promise thin as cigarette smoke

Still I learned how to breathe when it broke

They said slow down, stay in line

Trade your fire for a safer mind

But my pulse kept saying no

There’s a truth I already know

This is my life, not your design

I bleed in real time, I heal in my time

If I fall tonight, I’ll stand tomorrow

I don’t borrow hope, I manufacture sorrow

This is my life, rough and bright

Wrong turns glowing in headlight white

I won’t be saved, I won’t be told

This is my life, let it unfold

I’ve loved ghosts who never stayed

Built my faith from mistakes I made

Paid my dues in a rented heart

Learned survival is a form of art

Every scar has a voice inside

Says you lived, at least you tried

I don’t need a perfect role

I just need control

This is my life, skin and bone

Every riot I survived alone

If I scream tonight, it’s my right

I earned the dark, I choose the light

This is my life, flawed and true

Every break made something new

I won’t be owned, I won’t be sold

This is my life, brave and cold

No halo waiting, no final sign

Just a clock and a crooked spine

I walk forward, that’s my proof

Freedom hurts, but it’s the truth

This is my life, hear it roar

Every yes carved from a no before

I don’t need grace from above

I found enough in stubborn love

This is my life, edge and flame

Say my name or curse my name

When the night asks who I am

I’ll answer loud: I choose this plan

This is my life

Still breathing, still mine
