Intro — Spoken, Dark Cinematic)
Every night I put the mask on…
Not ’cause I’m a hero…
But ’cause the real world hittin’ too hard.
Gotham in my head feel safer than reality.
⸻
(Verse 1 — Heavy, Villain Energy)
I been fightin’ demons in the mirror, they don’t ever miss,
Real life swingin’ like a blade, I’m refusin’ to flinch.
If I fall apart, nobody gon’ notice the glitch,
So I dive into the shadows where the pain can’t hit.
Livin’ in a world I created just to breathe again,
False Gotham in my mind when the nights start creepin’ in.
I ain’t Bruce Wayne, but I walk with the burden he carry,
Turn my trauma into armor, make the darkness my family.
Turn the lights low—
Heartbeat sync with the bass when it drop slow.
Mind runnin’ through the city like a lost soul,
Tryna outrun everything I don’t show.
⸻
(Hook — Hero/Villain Duality)
I been livin’ in a false Gotham,
Real world breakin’ me, so the shadows got me.
Play the hero but my thoughts get toxic,
Mask on tight when the truth get heavy.
I’m the villain and the savior in my own mind,
Tryna hold on, barely walkin’ on the fault line.
If the world too real, I rewrite the storyline—
Yeah, I’m Batman when the pain don’t feel right.
⸻
(Verse 2 — Dark, Dramatic, Metro Strings)
Sirens in my head like they callin’ me home,
Every corner of my past tryna pull at my bones.
Got a heart full of bruises I ain’t never expose,
So I bury every feeling where the cold wind blows.
Double life, yeah I live it in silence,
Smile on my face but my soul stay violent.
People see Dante, but they don’t know the mindset,
Mask on my fears when the world get timeless.
Feel the cape drag heavy from the weight of the night,
Tryna save myself while I keep losin’ the light.
Got the city in my chest when I’m losin’ the fight—
But the pain turn me stronger every time I ignite.
⸻
(Hook — Hero/Villain Echo)
I been livin’ in a false Gotham,
Real world breakin’ me, so the shadows got me.
Play the hero but my thoughts get toxic,
Mask on tight when the truth get heavy.
I’m the villain and the savior in my own mind,
Tryna hold on, barely walkin’ on the fault line.
If the world too real, I rewrite the storyline—
Yeah, I’m Batman when the pain don’t feel right.
⸻
(Outro — Metro Echo, Cinematic)
Dark thoughts talkin’, streets keep callin’…
But the mask stay on when my hope start fallin’.
If the world don’t love me, the shadows got me…
False Gotham…
Still the place where I feel unstoppable.
