## **\[Intro – Whispered / Spoken]**
Yeah…
This is me.
You see me?
Or maybe you don’t.
’Cause I give and I give—
and still, I’m nothing.
But tonight…
I’m the only one.

### **\[Verse 1 – Broken Start]**
I gave you my voice when the silence was cruel,
I gave you my soul when they played me a fool.
Every hour I built, every night that I bled,
I carried the weight when the world turned its head.
Look in my eyes, you can see what I lost,
love is a currency, I paid every cost.
Scars on my back from the knives that they hold,
heart made of fire but the nights are so cold.
I was screaming in the shadows,
but they never heard a word,
every syllable I spit
is like a prayer they deferred.
I’m a ghost in their system,
just a name they forget,
but I’m breathing in the venom,
and I’m drowning in regret.
---
### **\[Pre-Chorus – Soft but Broken]**
I’m only,
just a face in the crowd,
but I’m lonely,
even when it gets loud.
I’m screaming,
but my voice fades away,
I’m only,
begging someone to stay.
---
### **\[Chorus – Explosive Pain]**
Only—
I gave everything and more.
Only—
still they’re walking out the door.
Only—
you don’t see me, you don’t know.
Only—
I’m the one who stands alone.
I’m only,
yeah I’m only,
and I’m drowning in the dark
where it’s lonely.
I’m only,
can you hold me?
’Cause I’m fighting just to prove
I am worthy.

### **\[Rap Verse 2 – Fighting to be Seen]**
Yeah, I’m sick of being silent when I’m burning inside,
I’m the king with no kingdom, just the pain I confide.
Every tear is a lyric, every scar is a rhyme,
I’ve been bleeding through the seasons, just a slave to the time.
They don’t clap when you’re falling,
they just watch from the side,
but they cheer when you’re winning,
just to claim they complied.
I was starving for affection,
gave my soul as the meal,
but they left me in the darkness,
asking “was it even real?”
I’m the echo in the alley, I’m the silence in the storm,
I’m the fire they extinguished when they wanted me conformed.
But I’m rising like a phantom,
I’m a shadow with a crown,
and I’ll make them say my name
when the system falls down.
---
### **\[Bridge – Emotional Break]**
(Soft singing, layered with echo)
I gave it all, I gave it all,
but nobody ever called.
I lit the flame, I lit the flame,
but they left me in the rain.
I was only just a soul,
trying hard to make it whole.
Tell me, tell me—
do you see me now?
---
### **\[Chorus – Anthemic]**
Only—
I gave everything and more.
Only—
still they’re walking out the door.
Only—
you don’t see me, you don’t know.
Only—
I’m the one who stands alone.
I’m only,
yeah I’m only,
and I’m drowning in the dark
where it’s lonely.
I’m only,
can you hold me?
’Cause I’m fighting just to prove
I am worthy.
