Wipe Song

Same old chair in the kitchen light
Another quiet war I lose each night
Coffee cold, the day worn thin
Trying to find where I begin

Every scar's a round I stayed
Still standing, still afraid

It's a wipe song, every day I bleed
Start again where I failed to succeed
Keep swinging with nothing but pride
Getting knocked down and rising inside
No glory, no crowd, just breath and flame
A wipe song, and I play the game

Hands shake on the coffee cup
Counting the times I gave back up
This ain't about winning fast
It's who you become when the moment's passed

Not a hero, not a plan
Just a soul who understands

It's a wipe song, every day I bleed
Start again where I failed to succeed
Keep swinging with nothing but pride
Getting knocked down and rising inside
No glory, no crowd, just breath and flame
A wipe song, and I play the game

I've rewritten me a hundred times
Erased the fear, redrawn the lines
The fight ain't clean, but it's still mine
And I won't quit until I shine

It's a wipe song, carved into my skin
Lose ten times, then fight to win
Keep swinging with nothing but pride
Getting knocked down and rising inside
No anthem, no crown, just grit and flame
A wipe song, and I play the game
