Antidote (Reimagined)
Intro: Heartbeat in a broken rhythm Still here, still listening Verse 1: I tried to numb it out with noise Late nights, borrowed joys Every cure came with a cost Every high just hid the loss I chased relief in strangersβ eyes Temporary alibis But every fix I ever found Left me lower on the ground Pre-Chorus: I keep asking for a sign But maybe Iβm the one this time Chorus: I need an antidote Something to pull me from the undertow I need an antidote Before I disappear inside the smoke If Iβm the poison in my veins Then Iβm the cure that breaks the chain I donβt need saving anymore Iβm my own antidote Verse 2: I mistook escape for peace Thought letting go meant losing me Every promise I delayed Gave my fear more room to stay I waited for a miracle Like healing wasnβt personal But hope donβt knock on shattered doors You gotta build them back yourself Pre-Chorus: I donβt need a perfect life I just need to survive Chorus: I need an antidote Something to silence the echo I need an antidote Before I fade into the shadow If Iβm the sickness, Iβm the change Iβm done romanticizing pain I donβt need saving anymore Iβm my own antidote Bridge: I wonβt wait for it to end I wonβt bleed just to pretend That suffering is proof of worth I choose the fight, I choose the hurt If I fall, Iβll stand again If I break, Iβll learn to bend I donβt need a hand to hold I need a reason not to go Final Chorus: I found the antidote Buried underneath the ghosts I found the antidote In every breath I almost lost If Iβm the poison, Iβm the cure Iβm still broken, still secure I donβt need saving anymore Iβm my own antidote Outro: Still breathing β thatβs the cure
