Line Still Open

[Verse 1]
Matthew, your name hits like a fist on the door,
You’ve been locked up so many times you stopped counting the score.
Needles and pills took your mornings, the bottle took your nights.
Now your in your forties remembering so many fights.
So you’re reaching through that wreckage, asking if we’re still alright.

[Chorus]
No one's coming to save you, it's up to you, you can create your change if you change what you do.
You want back in touch—so I’m listening through the roar.
Not pretending we can be what we were before.
If you’re ready to face the dark you've put yourself through.
There’s a line still open, Matthew.
It’s up to you.

[Verse 2]
I've seen your rap sheets, your mugshot in the news, and figured you've been in the big house instead of kneeling in the pews.
Another jail cell, another promise, another thing to lose.
I can’t erase the damage or drag you from the flame,
But I can hear you say you want to try again.

[Bridge]
No halo, no clean slate, no easy way back,
Just one honest step on a cracked black track.
Say it sober. Say it straight. Let the hard truth start—
The door is wide open if you let God into your heart.

[Outro]
Since you reached out, I might answer—if you mean what you say.
One day, one choice, one breath at a time, good day.
