[Verse 1]
I wake with the weight of a locked steel door
Counting every breath like I counted before
The worst thought waits where the daylight ends
But I call your name and I rise again
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar says stay
Every pulse says fight
I am not the thought
I am still alive
[Chorus]
Music is my savior, the only reason my lungs still have air
When the black tide gathers, I find a way to meet it there
Suicide sits in the back of my mind, but it does not hold the wheel
I choose another morning, I choose the proof that I can heal
[Verse 2]
I keep one hand pressed to the center of my chest
A rough little rhythm putting fear to rest
No promise that the road will ever turn kind
Just one more step ahead of the voice in my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar says stay
Every pulse says fight
I am not the thought
I am still alive
[Chorus]
Music is my savior, the only reason my lungs still have air
When the black tide gathers, I find a way to meet it there
Suicide sits in the back of my mind, but it does not hold the wheel
I choose another morning, I choose the proof that I can heal
[Bridge]
If I vanish, who will hear
The sound that brought me here?
So I turn it up, I face the fear
And make it through another year
[Final Chorus]
Music is my savior, the only reason my lungs still have air
When the black tide gathers, I find a way to meet it there
Suicide sits in the back of my mind, but it does not hold the wheel
I choose another morning, I choose the proof that I can heal
[Outro]
One more breath
One more day
I am here
I will stay
