[Intro \u2013 Warm Synth Pad, Clean Guitar, Steady Pulse]
\nWe drew the lines in darker days
\nBuilt our walls in careful ways
\nBut every wall became a weight
\nEvery \u201csafe\u201d just came too late<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nWe tried control, we tried to win
\nTried to lock the chaos in
\nBut every lock we engineered
\nOnly magnified the fear<\/p>\n
Numbers rising, systems strain
\nShort-term comfort, long-term pain
\nEvery shortcut left a scar
\nEvery \u201cnear\u201d still felt too far<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nIf survival\u2019s more than just getting through
\nThen maybe it begins with what we choose<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nA strategy
\n(Of survivability)
\nA clean exit
\n(You won’t regret)
\nNot escape but clarity
\n(A new trajectory)
\nA strategy
\n(Of survivability)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2 \u2013 Drums + Bass Enter, Groove Builds]
\nWe can pivot, we can bend
\nWe don\u2019t have to break again
\nEvery failure holds a clue
\nPointing to a better view<\/p>\n
Not a race to outrun time
\nBut to change the paradigm
\nWhat we take and what we give
\nDefines the way we live<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nIf the path ahead is one we make
\nThen every step\u2019s a chance to recalibrate<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nA strategy
\n(Of survivability)
\nA clean exit
\n(You won’t regret)
\nBuilt on shared responsibility
\n(And accountability)
\nA strategy
\n(Of survivability)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nMan,
\nMy exit plan:
\n(Love!)<\/p>\n
Come rise above!
\n(Sustainability)
\nCome on and love!
\n(… rise above)
\nSurvivability
\n(Our exit strategy)
\nLove
\n(Love, love, love)<\/p>\n
[Bridge \u2013 Piano + Ambient Textures]
\nNot a door we run toward
\nNot a line we can afford
\nBut a shift in how we see
\nWhat it means to truly be<\/p>\n
Less extraction, more repair
\nMore intention, deeper care
\nEvery system we redesign
\nLeaves the past a bit behind<\/p>\n
[Build \u2013 Full Band Rising, Choir Layers]
\nFrom the ground up, from within
\nWhere we stop is where we begin
\nEvery voice becomes a part
\nOf a wiser, stronger heart<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus \u2013 Anthemic, Expansive]
\nA strategy
\n(Of survivability)
\nA clean exit
\n(You won’t regret)
\nNot the end but continuity
\n(A new reality)
\nA strategy
\n(Of survivability)<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain \u2013 Layered, Uplifting]
\nMan,
\nMy exit plan:
\n(Love!)<\/p>\n
Come rise above!
\n(Sustainability)
\nCome on and love!
\n(… rise above)
\nSurvivability
\n(Our exit strategy)
\nLove
\n(Love, love, love)<\/p>\n
[Outro \u2013 Gentle Guitar, Fading Synth]
\nLove\u2026
\nRise above\u2026
\n(Find out about)
\n… the way out\u2026<\/p>\n
[Silence]<\/p>\n
