Midnight shadows on the wall
Dreams too big, the truth too small
Whispers echo through the haze
Promises we can’t erase
They draw the lines, we play the game
Trading freedom for a name
Spinning wheels that never stop
Climbing high until we drop
Everyone builds their kingdom tall
But no one sees how kingdoms fall
Raise the flag, then watch it burn
We never live, we never learn
Golden lies in silver frames
We’re just pieces, not the same
Running fast, we lose the race
Still we smile to save our face
Behind the masks, we’re all afraid
Chasing thrones we should evade
Calling peace, preparing war
Always needing something more
Everyone wants the crown and sword
But no one knows what they’re fighting for
All the walls we’ve built so high
Crumble when we question why
Oh, the silence in control
Oh, the price we pay for roles
If the world is just a stage
Who’s the writer, who’s the rage?
Everyone plays their secret part
Trying to lead with a hollow heart
History writes, and time decides
Who was wrong and who just tried
We rise, we fall, we fade away
And still the world just turns each day
Nothing’s real, but nothing’s fake
Just the choices that we make
