High Noon

[Verse 1] Six a.m., no sleep again Same four walls closin’ in TV glow, dead of night Tryin’ just to feel alright Mirror shows a ghost of me Not the man I wanna be Every road I tried to run Led me here to face the sun [Pre-Chorus] Tickin’ like a loaded clock Every second, one more shot No more runnin’, nowhere to hide It’s me and me on either side [Chorus] High noon… do or die Starin’ down the war inside my mind High noon… hear the truth I ain’t goin’ down… I refuse High noon… don’t fade away One more breath, one more day High noon… break through I walk away alive… from my high noon [Verse 2] On the edge, I feel it now Don’t know when, don’t know how Voices say “just let it go” But somethin’ in me says “no” Hands still shake, heart still pounds Silence screams without a sound If I fall, I rise again This ain’t where my story ends [Pre-Chorus] Every scar, every bruise Still got somethin’ left to lose No more runnin’, nowhere to hide It’s me and me on either side [Bridge] Whoa—hold on, don’t let go Whoa—fight back, take control Whoa—right here, right now I won’t back down [Final Chorus] High noon… do or die Starin’ down the war inside my mind High noon… hear the truth I ain’t goin’ down… I refuse High noon… don’t fade away One more breath, one more day High noon… break through I walk away alive… from my high noon © Wendell Rocky Adams 2026.
