[Verse 1]
I’ve been running on fumes, chasing a ghost
Burning the bridges that I needed the most
They say "don't give up," they say "push through the pain"
But I’m done with the glory of standing in rain
This isn't a crash, I’m not falling apart
It’s a deliberate beat of a waking heart

[Pre-Chorus]
I see the edge, and I know where it leads
I’m ignoring the wants to focus on needs
So spare me the pity, spare me the doubt
I know exactly what I’m talking about!

[Chorus 1]
I’m dropping the weapon, I’m leaving the field
This isn’t surrender, it’s a refusal to yield
To the noise, to the pressure, to the lie of the grind
I’m reclaiming the peace that I left behind!
I make no excuses, I make no demand
I’m taking my life back into my hand
I choose to stop!

[Verse 2]
Guilt is a shadow that knocks on the door
But I don't live in that house anymore
"Quitting" is easy? No, quitting is tough
It takes a warrior to say "I have had enough"
I’m cutting the wire before it explodes
Walking away from these dead-end roads

[Pre-Chorus]
I see the edge, but I'm turning around
I'm planting my feet on the solid ground...

[Chorus 2]
I’m dropping the weapon, let the armor decay
I’m walking into the light of a different day
To the fear of the future, to the guilt of the past
I’m building a shelter that is going to last!
I make no excuses, I make no demand
I’m taking my life back into my hand
I choose to stop!

[Bridge]
It takes muscle to work...
But it takes guts to rest...
To walk away from the test when you’ve given your best
I’m locking the door. I’m turning the key.
Finally, choosing me.
THIS IS MY WILL!

[Final Chorus]
I’ve buried the weapon, I’ve left the field!
The wound is closed, and the spirit is healed!
No more of the noise, no more of the grind
I’m embracing the peace that I realized!
The war is now over, the silence is sweet
I stand on my own two victorious feet
I CHOOSE TO LIVE!

[Outro]
Watch me breathe.
Watch me heal.
This is the only thing that is real.
I’m staying right here.
