SLOW IT DOWN.

IZ Wave Records... Slow it down. Think about the life you hold. Listen. **[Verse 1]** The weight is heavy and the pressure is real, But don’t let the darkness dictate how you feel. When the walls close in and you’re losing the light, Suicide is not the answer to the fight. It doesn’t end the pain, it just passes it on, Leaving a void when the heartbeat is gone. You are a champion, your story must stay, There’s a sunrise waiting for you every day. **[Chorus]** Suicide is not the answer, stay for the dawn, The world needs your spirit to keep moving on. Homicide is not the solution, don't take a life, Violence only multiplies the sorrow and strife. Put down the anger, put down the blade, Don't let a permanent mistake be made. Move with behavior, move with the soul, Keeping your mind under steady control. **[Verse 2]** If you’re hurting inside, if you’re bleeding out slow, Find a new direction, a new way to go. Taking a life won’t settle the score, It only opens up a much darker door. Protect your partner, protect your own mind, Leave the destruction and the madness behind. If you're in the wrong place, it's time to depart, But keep the pulse beating inside of your heart. **[Bridge]** Get the education, get the help that you need, Don't let the bitterness turn into a deed. A champion leads with a hand that is clean, Finding the peace in the space in between. You are valued, you are part of the plan, Be the change, be the leader, be the man. **[Outro]** Life is the gift. Peace is the way. Suicide is not the answer. Homicide is not the solution. IZ Wave.
