Lyrics

[Intro]

Used to bite my tongue

Smile, nod, then run

Now my shadow's grown

You don't know what you've done (yeah)

[Verse 1]

I was the fallback, late-night call back

Therapist with a heart in a small backpack

Carried everybody’s storms, I was soaked through

Never asked for an umbrella, just said “I got you”

Held the door, let you walk on my spine

Gave you gold, got excuses in kind

Every “it’s okay” was a cut in my chest

Every “don’t worry” put my rage to rest

I kept folding, hoping you'd see

Tried to be good so you’d be good to me

But the mirror got tired of lies I fed it

Said, “You’re a lion pretending, you just don’t get it”

[Chorus]

I’m done being the nice guy

Halo off, see the red in my eyes

You woke up a war I kept caged in my mind

The time of reckoning is now, is now

I bled just to keep peace

Now I’m standing here, calling out the beast

You wrote this battle on my heart with your doubts

The time of reckoning is now, right now

[Verse 2]

You liked me gentle, easy to bend

Soft “yes” every time so your will could win

You said “stay humble,” you meant “stay small”

You meant “stay quiet when I break your walls”

But I got ghosts in my bloodstream pacing

Ancestors in my backbone blazing

They don’t sleep when I bow my head

They keep shouting in my soul, “Rise instead”

So I pull that anger out of its grave

Shape it into armor, not a new chain slave

Every scar on my back is a vow I swore

Every “never again” is a sharpened sword

[Chorus]

I’m done being the nice guy

Halo off, see the red in my eyes

You woke up a war I kept caged in my mind

The time of reckoning is now, is now

I bled just to keep peace

Now I’m standing here, calling out the beast

You wrote this battle on my heart with your doubts

The time of reckoning is now, right now (yeah)

[Bridge]

This is for the days I swallowed my rage (woah)

For the nights I cried in a quiet cage

For the “sure, it’s fine” when it tore my spine

For the love I gave that you left behind

Now I walk in with my back straight

Soft heart, steel gaze, heavy faith

You don’t get to feast on this fire again

You don’t get to name my pain

[Chorus]

I’m done being the nice guy

If I burn it’s to light my own sky

You woke up a storm that was waiting in line

The time of reckoning is now, is now

I bled just to keep peace

Now I’m crowned by the cut-up pieces

You called me weak, now I roar this aloud:

The time of reckoning is now, right now (right now)
