On the Road to Recovery

Verse 1

I have taken a road more traveled

I would like my soul to say

But I know that could never happen

With all this time distance took away

Pre-Chorus

So I fall on down

From the weight of the world

I go on down

To take away from the hurt

Chorus

If I fall on the ground again

I'll take the responsibility

On the road to recovery

On the road to reality

Verse 2

I have gone down the path more known

I would like to boast away

But I know that

I have taken something harder

By choosing to stay with you again

Bridge

And I feel alright with this

And I just can't resist

It's hard enough knowing that

I don't see your face

And I've been a ghost

For most of my days

Pre-Chorus

So I fall on down

From the weight of the world

I go on down

To take away from thе hurt

Chorus

If I fall on the ground again

I'll take the responsibility

On the road to recovery

On the road to reality

On the Road to Recovery came through me one March afternoon when I locked myself in the bathroom.

There’s nothing to explain or make sense of here.

All it was

Was a momentary spiritual shortcut between my throat and my Higher Self—

a concept of which, ironically, I don’t necessarily believe in.

And still, it was.

I didn’t consciously construct anything,

yet somehow, I created everything.

The melody and words flowed through me like I was a vessel,

delivering a message of greater purpose.

It didn’t matter that I dropped out of the music school of my dreams,

or that my boyfriend and I lived an ocean and eight hours apart.

The only thing that mattered was that I—

according to my subconscious and my song—

was on the road to recovery.

All the internal battles,

all the pain endured for the sake of some far-off future

(that might have just been another form of escapism)

were concentrated into this one, minuscule moment in time.

A moment that might’ve been

the most surreal experience of my life.

Music flowed through me.

I was an instrument, and Music used me to Speak.

What did She say?

The truth is… I believe Her message is different for each of us.

We’re meant to sit down with Her in a quiet room,

close the blinds, stare at the ceiling—

and genuinely feel it.

Because we’re all on our own journey.

Every day is a new unfolding,

and there isn't a day where we are the same as we were before.

So whatever your connection to yourself,

or to Music,

let Her speak to you

through the message She sent

to you through me.

I guarantee you—

She has something magical to say.

Maybe you want to know what She said to me.

She said,

"On the Road to Recovery is a reminder

of what it means to heal into something whole.

To finally see your suffering come into fruition.

With dark thoughts often clouding your mind,

You forget to look ahead and see.

Staring into your destiny,

this song came through to remind you

what you're made of,

what you were made for,

and who you're working to become."

Simply put, it’s a piece of my soul

that was born without me realizing—

existing beside me like a soulmate.

Thank you, Music,

for always knowing

when it’s time for the perfect checkmate.

For swooping me off my feet,

For understanding that my spirit

was made to exist in sound form—

and that it will be heard.
