[Verse 1]
Woke up late, missed my shift,
Told my boss I “fell off a cliff.”
Technically true... it was Tilted Towers,
Lost track of time for 14 hours.
My girl said, “You forgot our date,”
I said, “Babe, I was buildin’ my escape.”
[Chorus]
I built a castle, burned my job,
Missed my rent, but I got the dub.
She left me sayin’, “You don’t see me no more,”
I said, “Baby, I’m crouched behind a steel floor.”
You do brunch, I do loot crates —
This ain’t a phase, this is fate.
I built a castle...
And burned my job.
[Verse 2]
I ain’t been outside since Chapter 3,
Thought the sun was just better VFX to me.
Got a tan from my screen, got a cough from snacks,
Got three solo wins and scoliosis in my back.
I door-dash ramen, I don’t need a pan,
I got high-ground dreams and a reboot van.
[Chorus – Bigger]
I built a fortress, lost my girl,
She said, “You chose a cartoon world.”
She don’t get why I’m locked in this grind —
I said, “IRL don’t have Slurp in time.”
My mom called twice, I didn’t break —
I was mid-storm pushin’ top-8.
I built a tower...
And ignored real life.
[Bridge – Spoken Over Dramatic Music]
You think I’m wasting time?
I built stairs in 0.3 seconds...
You ever parallel park emotionally?
[Final Chorus – Let it erupt]
I built a kingdom with pixel blocks,
Lost my job, my love, my socks.
Don’t need therapy, I got squads —
And a fridge full of Code Red gods.
Judge me all you want, I’m locked and loud —
Just don’t peek me when I’m feelin’ proud.
I built a castle...
And I ain't comin’ down.
[Outro – Whisper]
Storm’s closing in...
And I’m home.
