[Verse 1] Standing before a white wall Names and victories carved in gold Every skill, every battle won Shining bright, or so I was told But slowly, brick by brick The gold begins to fade What I built through years of work Quietly dismayed [Verse 2] I turn around A black wall rises high Red graffiti, bleeding words Failures etched against the sky Whatever I attempt It grows, it climbs, it spreads The white wall crumbles down The black one looms ahead Brick by brick it takes me over Stone by stone it steals the light No matter how I fight it It surpasses me in height [Bridge] But wait — I feel it now Through the cracking of the stone All the rage they buried deep Bursts like fire through the bone I am trembling, I won’t crawl Hear my heartbeat shake the ground Every chain they locked around me Snaps and falls with thunder sound [Climax] [Resolution/Outro] So I step back from both walls I leave the game behind They can keep their board, their pawns I’m reclaiming what is mine The collapse was never mine to own The weight was never fair I walk away with what I know — I was never the one who failed
