[INTRO]
“This was all part of my plan” 

[Verse 1]  
You thought you saw truth—no, you saw what I showed,  
every move you made was a path that I wrote.  
From the start, from the fall, from the rise to the throne,  
I was shaping your fate while you thought it your own.  
Quiet steps, calm voice, never needing to shout,  
I control every piece, I just let it play out.  
You were chasing illusions, I was building a plan—  
now you stand at the end… face to face with a god.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Look around—tell me what you believe,  
every sight, every sound… deception I weave.

[Chorus]  
I AM YOUR GOD COMPLEX—everything you see is mine,  
every thought, every breath—I designed your mind.  
You can fight, you can scream, you can pray all you want,  
but you’ve already lost to the will that you haunt.

[Verse 2]  
You relied on your strength, I relied on control,  
you were bound by your limits—I rewrote the role.  
Every ally you trust, every bond that you claim,  
just a thread in my hand in this beautiful game.  
I don’t rage, I don’t break, I don’t fall to despair,  
I just stand at the top while you choke on the air.  
Call it fate, call it fear, call it anything else—  
but the truth is simple… you were never yourself.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Close your eyes—tell me what do you see?  
Even darkness itself bends its will unto me.

[Chorus]  
I AM YOUR GOD COMPLEX—everything you see is mine,  
every thought, every breath—I designed your mind.  
You can fight, you can scream, you can pray all you want,  
but you’ve already lost to the will that you haunt.

[Bridge / Rap]  
Yeah—welcome to the illusion, you’re stuck in the trance,  
every step that you take was a part of my dance.  
You thought you were chosen? You thought you were free?  
Every path that you walked led you right back to me.  
No mercy, no doubt, no emotion to spare,  
I don’t need to attack—I just make you aware.  
That your power’s a lie, that your will’s just a thread,  
and I cut it the moment it enters my head.  
You can reach for the sky, you can try to ascend—  
but I’m already there… at the start and the end.

[Breakdown]  
Kneel…  
not because I demand it—  
because you finally understand it.

[Final Chorus]  
I AM YOUR GOD COMPLEX—now the truth is revealed,  
every fear, every doubt—every fate has been sealed.  
You can stand, you can fall, it was all just a test…  
now accept what you are… and bow to the best.

[Outro - Soft]  
“…illusion fades…”
“silence remains…”  
“no gods above me…”  
“only me… again…”
