[Intro: lone piano, slow handclaps] [Spoken] I know what I want. [Pause] The question is… Do I want too much? [Verse 1: confident groove] I like the mirror when it likes me back I like the feeling of staying on track I like the room when I know my worth Like I finally learned what I came here for I worked for the voice I worked for the nerve I learned not to beg For what I deserve But somewhere between “I know I can” And “I deserve the world” [Backing Vocals] Where’s the line? Where’s the line? [Pre-Chorus] Is it confidence When I stand up tall? Is it pride When I want it all? Is it hunger When I chase the flame? Or narcissism When everything becomes my name? [Chorus: huge guitars] WHERE DOES CONFIDENCE END AND THE MIRROR BEGIN? WHEN DOES WANTING MORE LIFE BECOME NEEDING TO WIN? I want the bigger room The brighter light The road that makes me feel alive But if I burn down everything I love Just to prove I can survive— [Backing Choir] Was it ambition? Was it pride? [Lead] Or was I feeding something That can never be satisfied? [Verse 2: faster delivery] I tell myself “You only get one” So why not chase Every version of the sun? More cities More love More stories More names More chances to become Someone I haven’t been [Backing Vocals] More! More! More! [Lead] That’s the word that scares me most Because “more” can build a future Or turn your whole life into smoke [Pre-Chorus] I don’t want small Just to look good I don’t want shame Where confidence stood But if every ceiling Must be broken through What happens to the people Standing underneath it too? [Chorus] WHERE DOES CONFIDENCE END AND THE MIRROR BEGIN? WHEN DOES SELF-BELIEF TURN INTO NEEDING TO WIN? I want to make I want to grow I want to see how far I go But if nobody beside me Can survive the speed I choose What exactly did I gain If everybody else I love I lose? [Bridge: piano only, intimate] [Soft Vocal] Maybe narcissism Doesn’t always look like vanity Maybe sometimes It looks like destiny Like believing Your hunger is so important Everyone else should absorb the cost [Strings rise] Maybe pride says “I matter” And something darker says “I matter most” [Pause] And maybe the difference Isn’t wanting more Maybe it’s whether Other people still exist When I walk through the door [Drums build] [Verse 3: restrained, reflective] I want a life that feels enormous Without making others feel small I want to trust my own desire Without believing it outranks them all I want to love myself Without becoming The only person I can see I want ambition Without destruction I want freedom With responsibility [Final Chorus: key change] WHERE DOES CONFIDENCE END? MAYBE I HAVE TO ASK AGAIN Every time the room gets brighter Every time I start to win Does this make me more alive? Does this make me more alone? Am I building something beautiful? Or worshipping my own throne? [Choir] Confidence! [Lead] Know your worth [Choir] Pride! [Lead] Honor what you’ve earned [Choir] Ambition! [Lead] Reach for something more [Choir] But remember— [Lead] Other hearts Are not the floor [Final Refrain: music strips back] I don’t want to fear my hunger I don’t want to worship it I want enough pride to chase a life That actually feels like mine And enough humility To know When wanting more Has crossed the line [Outro: piano, faint mirror-like synth] [Spoken] I still want more. [Pause] I just want to know what I’m willing to destroy for it. [Final unresolved chord]
