**[INTRO — DISTORTED / WHISPERED, deep 808s, melancholic soft synths]**
I don't recognize myself anymore...
Maybe that's the point.
**[VERSE 1 — LOW RAP]**
Black hoodie, red eyes, walking through the city,
Everybody sees a face, nobody sees what's with me.
I keep my demons close, they know me better than friends,
Every time I try to change, I find myself again.
Anger in my bloodstream,
Regret inside my teeth,
Every word I never said
Still screaming underneath.
I've been running from the mirror
'Cause I hate what looks back.
Built a life out of mistakes,
Now I'm trapped inside the cracks.
**[HOOK — DARK MELODIC]**
I see the ugliest parts of me
Every time I close my eyes.
All the things I tried to bury
Never really fucking died.
I don't need somebody's pity,
I don't need somebody's hand.
If I fall apart tonight,
I'll rebuild what I can.
**[VERSE 2 — RAPID / AGGRESSIVE]**
Fuck fake smiles, fake friends, fake love,
I've had enough, don't trust nobody I touch.
Every "forever" sounds temporary,
Every promise turns another cemetery.
Years of resentment compressed in my chest,
Every failure got a name, every scar got a debt.
I don't sleep, I close my eyes and wait
For the next bad thought to tell me I'm a mistake.
I became everything
I swore I'd never be,
Now I'm fighting with the person
That I see inside of me.
**[BRIDGE — ATMOSPHERIC / SHOUTED]**
*(Wake up!)*
I can't wake up.
*(Get up!)*
I'm already down.
*(Don't run!)*
Where the fuck do I go
When the enemy's myself?
**[VERSE 3 — DOUBLE-TIME / RAGE]**
Back against the wall, attacking every second,
Turn pain into a weapon, every breath into a lesson.
I don't want forgiveness, I just want understanding
For the kid I left behind when I stopped fucking planning.
I made peace with the darkness,
But it never made peace with me.
So I'll carry every scar
Till they're all a part of me.
No savior, no halo,
No clean escape.
Just a broken fucking man
Trying to change his shape.
**[FINAL HOOK — HUGE / DISTORTED]**
I see the ugliest parts of me,
And I'm finally looking back.
All the things I tried to bury
Built the person that I am.
I don't need somebody's pity,
I don't need to understand.
If I fall apart tonight,
I'll rebuild what I can.
**[OUTRO — WHISPERED]**
Maybe I'm not fixed.
Maybe I'm not supposed to be.
Maybe I'm just learning
how to live
with what I became.
