Lyrics
[Verse]
Grinding gears, hands blistered from the climb
Clock ticks slow, but I'm running out of time
Built a house of sweat, brick by aching bone
Still they look at me like a king with no throne
Staring at the mirror, see the cracks in the glass
Every step forward feels stuck in the past
Carried their hopes, now my shoulders are bruised
A jigsaw puzzle with pieces they refused
[Chorus]
Never enough, never quite there
Chasing their pride, gasping for air
Dreams on my back, but they call it a bluff
I give all I got, still it’s never enough
[Verse 2]
Blood on the page, ink dripping like veins
Writing my truth, but it’s lost in their chains
Swept their floors, built their castles of gold
They asked for my youth, now I’m feeling old
Hunger in my belly, ambition in my teeth
Chewed through the struggle, but where’s the relief?
Tried to be the sun, lighting up their sky
But they eclipse me, leave me asking why
[Bridge]
Hands in the dirt, I plant the seed
They want a forest, but never see the tree
I’m the echo in their halls, the ghost in their cheers
A silhouette carved by a lifetime of fears
