[Intro]
Wake up
Same room
Same screen
Same tomb
[Verse 1]
Clock blinks
You blink back
Scroll deep
Lose track
Every dream in a dead-end queue
Every plan gets postponed
You
Say “someday” like a lullaby
While your real life rolls right by
Concrete routine
Cold grey glue
Stuck to your shoes
Holds you
You keep shrinking to fit that frame
Then wonder why you feel the same (yeah)
[Chorus]
I won’t die average
I burn that habit at the stake
One of the one percent
I’ll bleed for every step I take
No more background face
I carve my name into the sky
I won’t die average
I’d rather crash than never fly (never fly)
[Verse 2]
Cold floor
4 a.m
Fear talks
Don’t listen to them
Every rep is a war with you
Every loss is a hidden clue
Friends freeze
When you level up
They laugh
Say it’s all luck
But you traded your sleep for skill
Turned every doubt into raw will (yeah)
No soft seat at the finish line
Just scarred hands and a sharper mind
You keep breaking your past in two
Till the old you can’t shadow you
[Chorus]
I won’t die average
I burn that habit at the stake
One of the one percent
I’ll bleed for every step I take
No more background face
I carve my name into the sky
I won’t die average
I’d rather crash than never fly
[Bridge]
Mind like steel
Heart like flame (heart like flame)
Say my loss
Say my name (say my name)
Every “can’t”
I collect that hate
Turn it to weight
Then I detonate (yeah)
[Chorus]
I won’t die average
I burn that habit at the stake
One of the one percent
I’ll bleed for every step I take
No more background face
I carve my name into the sky
I won’t die average
I’d rather crash than never fly (never fly)
