Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1 – Screamed] I wake up in the wreckage of a dream I can't remember With blood on my hands and a halo made of embers Every step I take’s a rerun of regret I scream for a sign, but I ain't found it yet Shadows move when I don’t—am I even here? A puppet in a play that I forgot to fear I stitched my mouth shut just to feel in control But the silence just echoes what I’ll never know [Rap Verse 1 – Fred Durst-style Flow] Yeah, I been rollin’ with the wrong thoughts, fightin’ in a dead fog Dyin’ on a throne made of “might-have-been” monologues Broke the compass, tossed the map, called it fate Now I’m stuck in the loop like a glitch in a game Pride got teeth and it feeds on shame I been smilin’ through a breakdown, playin’ that game Talk real loud just to drown my doubt But I can't hear truth with the lies in my mouth [Pre-Chorus – Clean/Whispered] Am I breaking ground, or digging my grave? Is this a warpath... or a parade? [Chorus – Melodic Screaming] I see the ghost of who I was In the static, in the flood Watching myself fade from sight Can’t tell if I’m wrong, can’t prove if I’m right Caught in the smoke, blind in the fire Chasing my shadow through razor wire Falling fast but standing still Specter in the mirror—was I ever real? [Verse 2 – Screamed] I wear my doubt like a crown of thorns Smiling while my sanity’s getting torn I’m the king of collapse in a kingdom of rust Buried alive by the bones of trust Whispers crawl through the back of my skull Feeding me echoes till I’m comfortable I built this cage just to prove I'm free But I can't escape what I can't unsee [Rap Verse 2 – Fred Durst-style Flow] Yo, I’m stuck in rewind, stuck in decline Feelin’ like I’m drivin’ nails in my own spine Eyes wide shut while I sabotage my prime Talk tough, walk rough, but I'm flatlined I’m a glitch in the system, a bug in the code Runnin’ from myself down a one-way road I smile on the surface while I rot below Like a garden of lies that I still let grow Yeah—clap back at the mirror when it shows the truth I'm a fraud in the booth, wearin’ yesterday’s youth Screamin’ “look at me!” but I can’t look inside Feelin’ like I'm livin’ but I already died [Bridge – Screamed with Building Intensity] Burn the script I never wrote Hang the hope I couldn’t float I’m the rust in the crown, the crack in the glass The ticking bomb in a gilded mask [Breakdown – Guttural Screams] Tear out my eyes, still won’t see Dig my grave in apathy I watch the fall, but never learn Too numb to feel the crash and burn [Chorus – Repeated with More Intensity] I see the ghost of who I was In the static, in the flood Watching myself fade from sight Can’t tell if I’m wrong, can’t prove if I’m right Caught in the smoke, blind in the fire Chasing my shadow through razor wire Falling fast but standing still Specter in the mirror—was I ever real? [Outro – Whispered to Screamed] Was I ever real? Or just a scream… in the silence I failed to feel.
