[Verse 1]
Clock hands spinning, life was a roulette
Bottle was my anchor, ship sinking, no net
Felt the devil in the details, whispers in the gin
Every sip was a sin, every win was pretend
Shadows danced on the wall, mocking my breath
Played tag with the reaper, flirted with death
Now I’m wide-eyed, soul scrubbed clean
Used to drown in the dark, now I’m chasing the gleam
[Chorus]
I’m alive and thankful, fire in my veins
Riding through the chaos, breaking my chains
Every second’s a gift, no time to waste
Taste the sun, the sky, the freedom I chased
[Verse 2]
Memory’s a movie, reel spliced with scars
Chased highs that burned, left me behind bars
Now I’m the architect, blueprint of my fate
No longer a victim, I’m the one who creates
Breath smells of freedom, lungs full of hope
Balancing the tightrope, no need for a dope
I’m a phoenix, ash to flame, watch me soar
Grateful for the pain that taught me to want more
[Prechorus]
Every tear, every stumble, every sleepless night
Built this foundation, gave me the fight
No rewind, no regret, just lessons learned
The fire in my heart will never be burned
