Prompt / Lyrics
Verse I learned how to measure my breathing So no one could hear me exist How to turn every bruise into language And call it “handling it” I learned how to make myself smaller So the room wouldn’t feel threatened by me How to swallow a scream like a promise I never intended to keep Pre-Chorus They said “time heals everything” But time just taught me how to endure There’s a difference between being alive And being cured Chorus I will not wait for a door to open If it’s locked, I’ll tear the frame apart I’ve been living off stubborn motion And the wreckage of a stubborn heart If survival is a kind of violence Then I learned it from the start I will not wait for a door to open I’ve been running while half erased and scarred been running half erased and scarred Verse I carry a past that still clears rooms Like smoke that won’t dissipate Every kindness feels conditional Every win arrives too late I’ve loved things that tried to kill me I’ve trusted the wrong kind of calm But there’s a pulse beneath all the damage That refuses to power down Pre c I don’t believe in miracles I believe in showing up torn I believe in becoming something Just to prove I was born Chorus I will not wait for a door to open If it’s locked, I’ll tear the frame apart I’ve been living off stubborn motion And the wreckage of a stubborn heart If survival is a kind of violence Then I learned it from the start I will not wait for a door to open I’ve been running while half erased and scarred been running half erased and scarred Bridge There’s no rescue coming for me No clean ending, no absolution Just my hands, shaking but steady Building life out of refusal I didn’t heal I adapted I didn’t win I lasted Final Chorus I will not wait for a door to open If it’s locked, I’ll tear the frame apart I’ve been living off stubborn motion And the wreckage of a stubborn heart If survival is a kind of violence Then I learned it from the start I will not wait for a door to open I’m still here — unfinished, breathing, scarred Outro Call it damage Call it sin Call it anything I’m still in
