Take Breaks From Myself

Verse 1

I don’t need hype I need motion

I don’t need praise I need proof

Every mile I ever walked

Was just me arguing with the truth

They see the wins not the bruises

They hear the noise not the cost

I’ve been losing whole versions of me

Just to make sure I’m not lost

Pre-Chorus

They say slow down

I say not yet

Chorus

I don’t take breaks from myself

I don’t rest inside excuses

I don’t wait for permission

I don’t soften my conclusions

If I fall I stand back up

If I bleed I don’t discuss

I don’t take breaks from myself

I move forward until I’m dust

Verse 2

I’ve been awake through the pressure

I’ve been calm in the collapse

Everybody sees momentum

They don’t see me fight the gaps

I don’t care who’s getting louder

I don’t measure who’s ahead

I just make it to tomorrow

With whatever I have left

Pre-Chorus

They ask how far

I say all the way

Chorus

I don’t take breaks from myself

I don’t stop to feel defeated

I don’t search for second chances

I just make the moment need me

If I shake I hold my ground

If I slip I don’t turn around

I don’t take breaks from myself

I go hard when it counts

Bridge

No trophy for endurance

No banner for the grind

Just a spine that never learned

How to quit on time

Final Chorus

I don’t take breaks from myself

I don’t pause for reassurance

I don’t talk about surviving

I just keep it in my footsteps

If the road ends I rebuild

If I fail I climb the hill

I don’t take breaks from myself

I keep moving on my will

Outro

I don’t stop when I’m tired

I stop when I’m done
