Verse
Decades of bullshit, now I realize,
Nothing is worth me wearing this disguise.
Each day I wake up, put the mask back on,
But the cracks are showing; the facade feels wrong.
Pre-Chorus
Every scar, every tear I’ve cried,
Left me standing at the edge of my pride.
I can’t keep pretending, I can’t keep this pace,
Gotta find myself beneath this face.
Chorus
Day in and day out, I fight to stay alive,
Where did my life go off the rails?
Searching for answers in a sea of lies,
But the truth in my heart never fails.
Breaking free, I’m done with the veil,
No more living off the rails.
Verse
The weight of the years pressing on my chest,
I gave my all, but it’s never been my best.
Caught in a cycle of fear and regret,
But I’m done paying this endless debt.
Pre-Chorus
Every stumble, every bridge I burned,
Taught me lessons in the pain I’ve earned.
Now I’m standing on the edge of change,
Time to rewrite the script, rearrange.
Chorus
Day in and day out, I fight to stay alive,
Where did my life go off the rails?
Searching for answers in a sea of lies,
But the truth in my heart never fails.
Breaking free, I’m done with the veil,
No more living off the rails.
Bridge
I’ll rise from the ashes, shed this disguise,
Take back my life, see through open eyes.
The past can’t own me; it’s time to let go,
I’ll find the light in the shadow’s glow.
Chorus
Day in and day out, I fight to stay alive,
Where did my life go off the rails?
Searching for answers in a sea of lies,
But the truth in my heart never fails.
Breaking free, I’m done with the veil,
No more living off the rails.
Outro
Decades of bullshit, but now I know,
The only way forward is to let it all go.
No more disguises, no more tales,
I’m reclaiming my life off the rails.
