Good Wolf

Verse 1
I just tasted oxygen for the first time since
I told myself I had no life to live
Man, you don’t know how long I’ve been
Down in that dark just trying to give in

And you helped me see this — so thank you, friend

⸻

Pre-Chorus
Because I refuse to be
Another casualty

⸻

Chorus
So thanks — but no thanks. I’ll be leaving
You can keep it all, I don’t need it
I want no part of that gravity
I won’t let it keep on feeding me

And you helped me see this — so thank you, friend

⸻

Verse 2
I just tasted blood in my mouth for the last time
No longer willing to lay down and die
I’ve bitten my tongue, I’ve swallowed lies
Watched my own reflection compromise

But something in me still survived
Buried deep but still alive
Clawing up toward open sky
Saying, “Stand up. Don’t comply.”

⸻

Pre-Chorus
I’ve been broken underneath
But there’s still some fight in me

⸻

Chorus
So thanks — but no thanks. I’m not bleeding
For every voice that says I’m defeated
You can keep your doubt and hostility
I won’t let it write my eulogy

I just tasted oxygen again
And I won’t forget how that feels, my friend

Bridge (build, strong and declarative)
Bad wolf still whispers in my ear
Still knows my doubt, still knows my fear
But hunger doesn’t mean control
And pain doesn’t own my soul

I don’t kill him — I outgrow
I don’t run — I let him know
He can howl, but I decide
Which side of me survives

Final Chorus (big, triumphant but grounded)
So thanks — but no thanks. I’m still breathing
You can keep your war — I’m not retreating
No more blood in my mouth this time
No more laying down to die

I tasted oxygen again
And I choose to live, my friend
