Full Throttle

Verse 1
Alarm clock ringing at 6:20
Coffee shakes in a paper cup
Scrubs on, notes in my backpack
Trying to hold my head up

Anatomy charts and pharmacology
Flashcards blur into doubt
Every test feels like a verdict
Like they’re measuring me out

Nine months staring at a bank app
Watching numbers fade to gray
Tuition’s like a ticking timer
Breathing down my day

But I chose this road for a reason
For the small and the weak that need
Someone steady with shaking hands
Someone brave enough to bleed

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, the fear gets loud in the silence
Whispers, “What if you’re not enough?”
But I didn’t come this far
To fold when it gets tough

⸻

Chorus

So I’m going full throttle
No brakes on this dream of mine
Heart racing past the panic
I won’t let it redline

Doubt’s in the rearview mirror
Can’t let it take control
I’m studying bones and sutures
But I’m stitching up my soul

Money tight, world heavy
Still I’m standing tall
You can’t stop this engine
I won’t stall

I’m going full throttle
Even scared — I’m going full throttle

⸻

Verse 2

Clinic lights and sterile tables
Learning how to place an IV
Hands still shake but I’m getting stronger
Each time they trust me

Every patient with silent eyes
Feels like a promise I made
To heal what’s fragile and hurting
Even when I’m afraid

Friends with jobs and steady paychecks
Posting pictures, moving on
Meanwhile I’m counting pennies
Hoping rent gets drawn

But purpose hits different at midnight
When I’m memorizing meds
Because somewhere an animal’s breathing
And I’ll be there instead

⸻

Pre-Chorus 2

Yeah, anxiety talks like thunder
Says, “You’re one mistake away”
But courage isn’t absence of fear
It’s showing up anyway

⸻

Chorus

So I’m going full throttle
No brakes on this dream of mine
Heart racing past the panic
I won’t let it redline

Doubt’s in the rearview mirror
Can’t let it take control
I’m studying bones and sutures
But I’m stitching up my soul

Money tight, world heavy
Still I’m standing tall
You can’t stop this engine
I won’t stall

I’m going full throttle
Even scared — I’m going full throttle

⸻

Bridge (softer, emotional)

If I fall, I’ll learn the landing
If I shake, I’ll steady slow
If I fail, I’ll try again
Because I was born to grow

Not everyone can hold the fragile
Not everyone can stay
When life is small and trembling
And trust is given away

I am more than unpaid months
More than doubt inside my head
I’m becoming something stronger
With every tear I shed

⸻

Final Chorus (bigger, powerful)

Yeah, I’m going full throttle
No brakes on who I’ll be
Fear can ride beside me
But it won’t be driving me

Doubt’s just background static
I’ve got healing in my hands
This isn’t just a paycheck
This is who I am

Money tight, heart steady
Hear that engine call
You can’t stop this fire
I won’t stall

I’m going full throttle
Even scared — I’m going full throttle

I like Electric dance music and pop, lean more into EDM, female alto lead
