Wake up wired
Jaw feels tight
Shave in the mirror
Don’t like the light
Numbers on a lab sheet
Staring like a dare
Is this me aging
Or was it always there
Riding these testosterone tides
Up, down, crash, then rise
Some days I’m a wildfire fight
Some days I’m small inside
Riding these testosterone tides
In my blood, in my mind
Trying not to let that surge
Tell me how to live my life
Gym bag packed
Chalk on my hands
Add plates, stack weight
Chasing some grand plan
Dad’s old voice
Echo in my skull
Be a man, boy
But what if I’m full?
Riding these testosterone tides
Up, down, crash, then rise
Some days I’m a wildfire fight
Some days I’m small inside
Riding these testosterone tides
In my blood, in my mind
Trying not to let that surge
Tell me how to live my life
I am more than muscle and strain (hey!)
More than anger I don’t explain
I can be soft, I can be strong
Both belong, both belong (oh yeah)
Riding these testosterone tides
Up, down, crash, then rise
Some days I’m a wildfire fight
Some days I’m small inside
Riding these testosterone tides
Let the waves pass me by
I’ll decide what I become
I’m the storm behind the tide
