Happiness is Worth Fighting for

Same old loop, same old scars Handed down like rusted bars Sleepwalk years, bite my tongue Call it peace while the cycle won Woke up choking on the lie That staying in line would keep me alive World’s already shaking, walls already thin I feel the cracks under my skin Happiness is worth fighting for So I bare my fangs to the world Let the ruins crumble, let the old gods fall Destabilize the lie that kept me small Through the smoke I see a new day I take the path, come what may They sold me comfort wrapped in fear “Don’t make waves, just disappear” But the quiet was a slow decay And I finally heard what it had to say Wake the part they tried to kill The one that still remembers will No more waiting for permission This is the line, this is the mission Happiness is worth fighting for So I bare my fangs to the world Let them call it rage or selfish I know what must be done Break the wheel or stay the ghost I’d rather fight than stay this lost Every generation said “not now” Every generation passed it down I am the one who stops the hand I am the one who takes the stand Happiness is worth fighting for I bare my fangs to the world No apology, no softer version I know what must be done Cycle ends right here, right now I choose the fight. I choose the now.
