[Verse 1]
You wake up with a scream stuck in your chest
Staring at the ceiling, praying for rest
Your mind’s a battlefield, your soul’s on fire
Another day alive feels like a goddamn lie
They don’t see the cracks, the quiet collapse
Just the mask you wear so you don’t snap
You’re dying inside, behind fake light
Like bleeding slow in the dead of night
[Pre-Chorus]
But I see it all, the pain you drown
Every whispered “fuck this” when no one’s around
You’re not broken, not beyond repair
You’re just becoming something fierce in there
[Chorus]
Don’t give in, don’t break
This pain’s not a curse—it’s the shape you take
You’re being forged by every hit
This storm won’t end you—it’s making you fit
For a world that’s cruel, for a heart that’s real
For the ones who’ll need your fire to heal
So don’t fall now, don’t sink
You’re not far—you’re closer than you think
[Verse 2]
You’ve begged the sky for some kind of sign
Wrote quiet goodbyes in the back of your mind
Felt like a ghost in a crowded place
While the ache in your chest tried to erase your face
I know that dark, I’ve walked that edge
Where hope’s a whisper and love feels like death
But trust me now in the silence you keep—
You don’t have to win. Just fucking breathe.
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re still here, and that means everything
Your scars will be the songs others sing
Your truth’s not too broken to speak
You’re still building what they’ll need next week
[Chorus]
Don’t give in, don’t break
This pain’s not a curse—it’s the shape you take
You’re being forged by every hit
This storm won’t end you—it’s making you fit
For a world that’s cruel, for a heart that’s real
For the ones who’ll need your fire to heal
So don’t fall now, don’t sink
You’re not far—you’re closer than you think
[Bridge]
One day you’ll look back with battle-worn eyes
And whisper, “damn, I survived.”
You’ll help someone else still gasping for air
And say, “I was there—but I made it somewhere.”
You won’t be their hero—you’ll be their proof
That even the broken can speak the truth
That even with nothing left to give
You can still fucking choose to live
[Breakdown – spoken/screamed]
Don’t make forever choices in temporary pain
Don’t let this world win your name
You're not done. You're not erased.
You're still breathing—and that means you’re laced
With power. With fire. With purpose, with fight.
You’re not here to vanish.
You’re here to ignite.
[Final Chorus]
So don’t give in, don’t break
This pain’s not punishment—it’s the shape you take
You’re being carved with every hit
This storm won’t kill you—it’s making you fit
For a brighter war, for a harder peace
For the strength to stand when others cease
So hold the fuck on, don’t blink
You’re not far—you’re closer than you think
You’re closer than you fucking think
