Welcome.
Yeah.
You made it this far.
That matters.
Turn it up.
You got marks
that nobody sees.
Old weight sitting
underneath your sleeves.
You got days
that don't make sound.
Still got up
when they held you down.
You got scars
that don't need names.
You got proof
that you walked through flames.
You got a heart
that learned to hide.
Still beats hard
on the passenger side.
Look at you now.
Still in the seat.
Still got breath.
Still got heat.
World got loud.
You stayed near.
That means something.
You hear me clear.
That means something.
You matter here.
Welcome.
You're still alive.
Read the lines.
Read the lines.
Pain don't lie.
Fear don't drive.
Read the lines.
Read the lines.
You made it through
what tried to take you.
You stayed real
when the world tried
to fake you.
Welcome.
You're still alive.
Read the lines.
Read the lines.
You ain't weak
cause your hands still shake.
That's the body
letting thunder break.
You ain't lost
cause you need more time.
That's a soul
coming back online.
You ain't broken
cause the mirror talks.
You're the one
that still gets up
and walks.
You ain't finished.
You ain't done.
You're still breathing
under no sun.
Hold the tether.
Stick together.
Calm cool mind
through the redline weather.
Metronome stepper.
Kill the comfort.
Aim better.
You're not dangerous.
You're weaponized
when life gets heavy.
You bend low.
You stay ready.
Stay ready.
Stay ready.
Welcome.
You're still alive.
Read the lines.
Read the lines.
Pain don't lie.
Fear don't drive.
Read the lines.
Read the lines.
You made it through
what tried to take you.
You stayed real
when the world tried
to fake you.
Welcome.
You're still alive.
Read the lines.
Read the lines.
This one's for you.
Not the clean version.
Not the fake smile.
Not the easy story.
You.
The one
with miles on the ribs.
Tension in the jaw.
Ghosts in the rearview.
Still driving.
Still here.
Still here.
Still here.
Still here.
Still here.
Read the lines.
Read the lines.
Hold the tether.
Calm cool mind.
Read the lines.
Read the lines.
You survived.
Now drive.
Welcome.
You're still alive.

Pain don't lie.
Fear don't drive.

You're still alive.
You made it this far.
That matters.
Keep driving.
