Life's Too Short

[Intro – Melodic Hook]
Life’s too short to live in rage
To carry hate like it’s a cage
I’m breaking out, I’m burning bridges
I’m done with pain, I’m done with vengeance



[Verse 1 – Rap]
I used to hold grudges like trophies on the shelf
Feeding the fire while I burned myself
Built up walls, thought I was strong
But silence and pride don’t right the wrongs

People change, yeah, they fade away
But I kept the weight like it had to stay
Told myself I’d never forget
But I was the prisoner in my own head



[Pre-Chorus – Rap/Melodic Blend]
And every scar was a badge I wore
Till I asked what the hell I’m fighting for
This anger don’t bring peace to me
Just robs my joy and steals my sleep



[Chorus – Rock/Melodic]
Life’s too short to bleed from old wounds
Too loud inside to hear the truth
I’m laying down the war inside
Trading my darkness for the light
No more hate, no more chains
I’m not gonna drown in that old pain
‘Cause life’s too short…
To waste on blame



[Verse 2 – Rap]
Yeah, I’ve been hurt, I’ve been cold as ice
Told myself revenge would make it right
But hate’s just a loop, it's a rerun track
And it don’t move forward, it only drags back

Now I’m shedding the weight like dead skin
If I stay bitter, they still win
I’m not who I was, I’m rising now
Forgiveness ain't weakness, it's taking the crown



[Bridge – Spoken/Scream Rock Hybrid]
I won't die on this hill of resentment
I won't chain my soul to the past's resentment
This is the break—this is the shift
Love is the weapon, peace is the gift


[Chorus – Final, Full Power]
Life’s too short to bleed from old wounds
Too loud inside to hear the truth
I’m laying down the war inside
Trading my darkness for the light
No more hate, no more chains
I’m not gonna drown in that old pain
‘Cause life’s too short…
Too short to waste on blame


[Outro – Rap/Melody Fade]
Let it go, let it breathe
Let the grudges hit their knees
Peace ain’t soft, it's savage strength
To love in spite of all the hate
