Same Circus

[Intro] Yeah… Same shit, different day… I’m done asking why. [Verse 1] Woke up in the same room, same cracks in the paint Same voice in my head tellin’ me I’m the mistake Same lies dressed different, but they smell the same You call it “new beginnings”, I just see a new name I been walkin’ in circles, wore a path in the floor Tryna outrun the past, but it’s glued to my core Every step that I take got an echo of before Like I’m locked in a loop, keepin’ score of a war You ever scream so loud but it don’t make a sound? Like you buried alive but you still walk around? Yeah, I learned how to smile while I’m slowly breakin’ down Playin’ roles in a script that I never wrote down [Verse 2] Same fights in the kitchen, same plates on the wall Same “this time it’s different” — yeah, I heard that before Same blame gettin’ shifted every time that I fall Like I built all this damage, like I asked for it all You said “grow up”, I did — now I see through the act Every promise you made had a string in the back Yeah, you talk about love but it felt like a trap Had me chokin’ on words I was too scared to snap Now I’m diggin’ through memories, dust on the truth Tryna figure out what parts of me came from you What I carry as scars, what I carry as proof That I’m more than the product of what I went through [Bridge] Same pain, same chain, different face every day Same rain, same stain that I can’t wash away Same try, same lie, same reason to break But I’m done bein’ molded by the mess that you made [Chorus] I ain’t copy-pastin’ pain that you programmed in me Ain’t livin’ out a script that was never my dream All the ghosts in the mirror try to tell me who to be But I’m done — yeah, I’m cuttin’ every string I can see No more livin’ in cycles I was forced to repeat No more draggin’ the past like a chain on my feet You can keep all the hate that you buried in me I won’t duplicate the damage — I’m finally free [Verse 3] Yeah, I carried your voice like it lived in my chest Every doubt, every fear, every “you ain’t your best” Turned it into a weight, now I’m feelin’ it press But I’m learnin’ to breathe with a knee on my neck Funny how I defended all the shit that you did Made excuses for pain like a loyal little kid Now I see it for what it is — control in disguise All the love had conditions, all the truth was a lie So I’m breakin’ the pattern, yeah, I’m cuttin’ it clean No more livin’ a life that was never for me You can keep your reflection, I don’t like what I’ve seen I’m rebuildin’ myself from the cracks in between [Bridge] Same day, same way — not anymore Same pain, same chain — I’m at war Same past, same scars — yeah they stay But they don’t get to decide who I am today [Chorus] I ain’t copy-pastin’ pain that you programmed in me Ain’t livin’ out a script that was never my dream All the ghosts in the mirror try to tell me who to be But I’m done — yeah, I’m cuttin’ every string I can see No more livin’ in cycles I was forced to repeat No more draggin’ the past like a chain on my feet You can keep all the hate that you buried in me I won’t duplicate the damage — I’m finally free
