[Intro]
They said time heals everything…
So why do these nights still feel so heavy?
Maybe peace was never found…
Maybe it’s built… one broken piece at a time.
[Verse 1]
I’ve been buildin’ every brick by myself, no handouts,
Talkin’ to the moon ‘cause the world never planned out.
Scars on my heart, but my face never shows,
Smilin’ in the daylight, bleedin’ where nobody goes.
Everybody loves you when you’re finally on top,
Nobody remembers every time that you dropped.
I was in the dark tryna’ learn how to glow,
Lost a hundred pieces just to find my own soul.
[Pre-Chorus]
If I disappear, don’t come lookin’ for me,
I’m just tryna’ find the man I was supposed to be.
Every lonely mile turned my pain into gold…
But why does success feel so cold?
[Chorus]
What’s the price of peace?
I gave away pieces of me.
Every dream I chase,
Feels one step further away.
Black skies over me,
But I still believe.
If it costs my heart…
Will I finally be free?
[Verse 2]
People throw opinions like they know my life,
Never held this weight, never fought this fight.
I don’t want revenge, I just wanna heal,
Learnin’ every scar can become somethin’ real.
Every setback built another stronger bone,
Every empty night taught me how to stand alone.
Maybe all this silence wasn’t punishment…
Maybe it was growth wearin’ a different skin.
[Bridge]
Maybe heaven ain’t above…
Maybe it’s the moment you stop runnin’.
Maybe freedom isn’t love…
Maybe it’s finally becoming.
[Verse 3]
If tomorrow calls, I’ma answer with a smile,
Every mile I survived made the hurt worthwhile.
The kid in the mirror would’ve never believed,
One day all this weight would help him breathe.
Still got storms that live inside my chest,
Still got nights that never let me rest.
But I’m done lettin’ fear decide my fate,
Every closed door just redirected faith.
If nobody claps when I cross that line,
I’ll still know the mountain was worth the climb.
I didn’t lose myself—I buried the past,
Now I’m chasing forever instead of chasing what couldn’t last.
[Final Chorus]
What’s the price of peace?
I gave away pieces of me.
If tomorrow never comes…
At least I became who I dreamed.
No chains holdin’ me,
No fear underneath.
If the road never ends…
I’ll keep walkin’ ‘til I’m free.
[Outro]
(Fading vocal)
I’ll keep walkin’…
Even if nobody sees…
The price of peace…
Was becoming me…
desolate
