[Intro]
The weight of words, heavy on my mind
A battle unspoken, hard to define
Living in the shadow of a ticking clock
Counting every moment, can't afford to stop
[Verse 1]
Doctor’s voice echoes, harsh and cold
Telling tales that feel so old
Loss of parts, battles lost in fights
But I stand here, still in the lights
[Pre-Chorus]
But what do I say, what can I do?
When the news hits, breaks through
Every breath I take, a gift, a crime
Living like it’s my last, every single time
[Chorus]
Live like you’re dying, every single day
No promises in the sky, no future to delay
Fight the fight, hold on tight
Put up your guns, embrace the fight
[Verse 2]
Memories of home, the loves I’d keep
Lost pieces of myself, wounds that seep
From Ukraine to battles I face within
Living with the scars, shedding my sin
[Pre-Chorus]
But what do I say, what can I do?
When the news hits, breaks through
Every breath I take, a gift, a crime
Living like it’s my last, every single time
[Chorus]
Live like you’re dying, every single day
No promises in the sky, no future to delay
Fight the fight, hold on tight
Put up your guns, embrace the fight
[Bridge]
No regrets, no looking back
Each dawn’s a gift, stay on the track
Honor in the struggle, strength in the pain
Living life full, dancing in the rain
[Outro]
So here’s my vow, my final plea
To cherish every breath, to truly be
A marine who lives, who fights, who thrives
Living every day like it’s my last, alive
