Lyrics

[Intro 🔥][Energy: Mid]
(haunting guitar riff — Inside the Fire DNA)
(drums enter deliberate)
(two tones in the riff — conflict built into the music)

[Verse 1 🔥][Energy: Mid-High]
(controlled vocal — the shame voice first)
The gym is full of people
Who already know
What they're doing

I don't belong there
Too slow
Too heavy
Too visible
In my failing

So I found a trail
Behind my house
Where maybe nobody
Would have to see
The fat man
Trying

[Pre-Chorus][Energy: Build]
(guitar tightens, drums build)
But the voice in my head
Came with me
Every step

You don't belong here either
Look at you
Look at how slow you are
Look at what you are

[Chorus 🔥][Energy: Explosive]
(riff hits full — the counter voice rising)
But I got off the couch
And I belong on the trail
I got off the couch
And I belong on the trail

Slow is not the same
As wrong
Heavy is not the same
As done
Shame is not the same
As truth

I got off the couch
I belong here
I belong here
I belong

[Verse 2 🔥][Energy: Mid-High]
(drops slightly — the internal war continuing)
They see me coming
The runners
The cyclists
The ones who make it
Look effortless

And inside my head
I'm already apologizing
For taking up space
For being
What I am
Out here
Where people
Can see

But their faces
Don't say
What my head says

Their faces say
Keep going

[Pre-Chorus][Energy: Build]
(bass drives harder, drums relentless)
And still the voice
Still right there
Still telling me
I don't belong

But I'm still here
Moving
Anyway

[Chorus 🔥][Energy: Explosive]
I got off the couch
And I belong on the trail
I got off the couch
And I belong on the trail

The crowd isn't laughing
The crowd is cheering
But the voice in my head
Didn't get that memo

I got off the couch
I belong here
I belong here
I belong

[Bridge 😭][Energy: Low]
(everything drops — haunting guitar alone)
(close vocal, raw)
Here's what I know
About the shame voice

It doesn't go away

(beat)

It was there
The first day
It was there
When I lost
The first pound

It was there
At the finish line

(single drum hit)
It will probably
Always be there

[Bridge 🔥][Energy: Explosive]
(full band returns — controlled power)
But here's what else
I know

It doesn't win

Every time I lace up
And show up
And move this body
Down this trail

I am an athlete
Not because I'm fast
Not because I'm thin
Not because anyone
Gave me that title

Because I showed up
When the voice said don't
Because I moved
When the voice said stop
Because I came back
When the voice said
You don't belong here

[Final Chorus 🔥🔥][Energy: Explosive]
(overwhelming — both voices finally the same voice)
I got off the couch
And I belong on the trail
I got off the couch
And I belong on the trail

The shame is real
And I show up anyway
The voice is loud
And I move anyway
Slow is still moving
Heavy is still here
Still here
Still here

I got off the couch
I belong here
I belong here

I
Belong

[Outro 🔥][Energy: Low][Fade Out]
(haunting riff returns — same as intro)
(single vocal over the top)
(drums fade last)

I belong on the trail

(beat)

Even now

Even still

I belong
