[Verse]
Found life’s a beast, jaws sharp, ruthless and raw
Tears flood a river, they don't notice no straw
Mirror whispers loud, screaming deep from the pain
Blame ricochets like bullets, cracking my own pane
[Bridge]
Choice a weapon sharper than a double edge
Step to the cliff, either soar or just pledge
Nobody’s hands in my mess, it’s my slate
Erase it, scrape it, or carry the weight
[Chorus]
Responsibility wrapped tight in my grip
Truth sipped bitter but it steadies my trip
No fingers point, I’ll own what I earn
From the wreckage, life's lessons I learn
[Verse 2]
Lanes crowded with ghosts, haunting past mistakes
Clocks don't reverse, can't apply no brakes
Stand on decisions, foundation’s my spine
Life’s crude paintbrush mixed my palette divine
[Bridge]
Got scars but I’m flexing my resilience glow
Burned bridges just lit up the path I saw grow
Nobody affected but me, that’s the deal
Chiseled to the bone, this armor is real
[Chorus]
Responsibility wrapped tight in my grip
Truth sipped bitter but it steadies my trip
No fingers point, I’ll own what I earn
From the wreckage, life's lessons I learn
