[Intro]
Breathe in, breathe out
The room is loud, but I’m still here
[Verse 1]
Morning pills beside the keyboard
Cold coffee, another day to face
The camera lights up, the chat starts moving
I put a steady mask in place
They know me as MrRatt80
A voice behind the screen tonight
But every laugh has a loaded silence
Every victory costs a fight
[Pre-Chorus]
I carried storms nobody saw
Through hospital halls and bedroom walls
Then found four paws beside my chair
A reason to rise, a reason to care
[Chorus]
On the battlefield, I finally breathe
Grayzone dust underneath my feet
The wardogs run where the fear once stayed
And the noise in my head starts to fade
I’m not cured, I’m not made of stone
But I found a place that feels like home
Through every wound, through every scar
I found my peace where the hard days are
[Verse 2]
The map is marked, the squad is waiting
A distant crack cuts through the gray
I feel the old alarms returning
Then hear a loyal heartbeat say
No empty promise, no clean ending
Just one more step, one more round
The friends I made across the channel
Pull me back when I go down
[Pre-Chorus]
I carried storms nobody saw
Through broken sleep and locked-up doors
Now every mission, every name
Reminds me I can stand again
[Chorus]
On the battlefield, I finally breathe
Grayzone dust underneath my feet
The wardogs run where the fear once stayed
And the noise in my head starts to fade
I’m not cured, I’m not made of stone
But I found a place that feels like home
Through every wound, through every scar
I found my peace where the hard days are
[Bridge]
If you’re watching from the other side
If your own dark room won’t let you sleep
You don’t have to win the whole war tonight
Just hold one line, just take one breath, just keep
[Breakdown]
One breath
One step
One more dawn
I am still here
I am still here
[Final Chorus]
On the battlefield, I finally breathe
Grayzone dust underneath my feet
The wardogs run and the fear gives way
I can meet the morning, I can face the day
I’m not cured, I’m not made of stone
But I found a place that feels like home
Through every wound, through every scar
I found my peace where the hard days are
[Outro]
The stream goes dark
The room goes still
The battle fades
But I’m here still
