Lyrics

Verse 1
Lights out, the world half asleep
I’m up, chasing something I can’t keep
Every doubt, every fear starts talking
But I drown ’em out, keep walking
Two wolves fight in the back of my mind
One says quit, one says grind
One feeds on comfort, the other on pain
Guess which one learns to reign

Pre-Chorus
Every man’s got a war inside
Only question is, who survives

Chorus
Tired? Good, do it anyways
Beaten? Good, find another way
It’s not over till I win
I fall, I rise, again and again
We don’t wait for the light to begin
We make it burn from within
Feed the fire, feed the will
Do it anyways, and do it still

Verse 2
Every click, every scroll’s a thief
They want your time, your soul, your belief
While they sleep, I’m laying bricks
One swing, one strike, that’s how it sticks
Momentum builds like a storm inside
Faith and fury, both collide
One wolf’s hungry, one’s afraid
I know which one gets fed today

Bridge
I’m not built for easy, I’m built to last
I sharpen the blade on the broken past
Rest when I must, but never stay
Every loss just fuels the way

Final Chorus
Tired? Good, do it anyways
Doubt it? Good, do it anyways
It’s not over till I win
Until the fire burns through my skin
Every setback, every scar I’ve gained
Reminds me what can’t be tamed
Two wolves fight, but I know who stays
The one I feed when I do it anyways

Spoken Outro
It’s not over until I win
Not when I’m tired, not when I’m done, only when I’ve won
Every man’s got a war inside
But I know which wolf I’m feeding
And every time I stand back up
That’s another meal for the right one
