[Verse 1] I drew my name Along the wall Not for the crowd Not theirs at all I kept the chalk Inside my hand A private line Across the land [Pre-Chorus] If no one sees the mark Does it still carry weight? If everyone repeats it Did I choose it too late? [Chorus] Is this for me? Or for the room? A little proof Against the gloom Is this for me? Or for their eyes? I leave a scar Then call it mine [Verse 2] I built a door Without a key Measured the frame To fit just me Then came the hands Against the grain They traced the shape And changed the name [Pre-Chorus] If praise becomes the pen And doubt becomes the page Am I making something true Or dressing up a cage? [Chorus] Is this for me? Or for the room? A little proof Against the gloom Is this for me? Or for their eyes? I leave a scar Then call it mine [Bridge] Take the monument down Let the dust cross the floor Keep the splintered design I was hiding it for If the meaning survives When the witnesses leave Then the mark has a pulse Then it belongs to me [Final Chorus] Is this for me? Or for the room? I choose the wound I choose the bloom Is this for me? Or for their eyes? I leave a scar And let it testify [Outro] No one can own The hand that began No one can name What I understand
