[Spoken Word Intro] I'm cutting through my own illusions... to silence the static and finally hear my own voice... [Verse 1] Hearing yourself… that’s a grown-up game. To open up, accept… that’s not how the world plays. True or false is way too simple now, There are other paths for a soul to grow somehow. [Pre-Chorus] Peeling back the layers, day by day, Tearing through the sticky web of old ways… [Chorus] Through the noise of empty wins and chatter, I'm fighting my way to the fire that matters. And finally, smashing the looking glass, I hear the voice that was meant to last. [Verse 2] I'm tearing down these castles made of fog, Setting all the paper scenery on fire. From bitter ashes, from the old deceit, My own true voice rises on the pyre. [Chorus] Through the noise of empty wins and chatter, I'm fighting my way to the fire that matters. And finally, smashing the looking glass, I hear the voice that was meant to last. [Verse 3] In the mirror, a smirk, a hint of stubble, A blurry face that’s seen its share of trouble. I try to pull the mask away to see, But it's grown on, now it's a part of me... [Pre-Chorus] Behind it all, it can only be me… But which version am I supposed to be?... [Chorus] Through the noise of empty wins and chatter, I'm fighting my way to the fire that matters. And finally, smashing the looking glass, I hear the voice that was meant to last. [Spoken Word Bridge] Take off the rose-tinted glasses, before they shatter and the shards cut you from the inside. The truth can be scratchy, like a rough wool sweater, but it's the only thing that'll keep you warm in this cold, cold world... [Verse 4] So smash this hollow, lying shrine, Where echoes sound louder than a thought that's mine. And in the silence, deafening and deep, A new song wakes from its long sleep. [Chorus 2] It sings one thing, for all to hear: “Just follow your heart, and conquer fear.” Behind this shell of flesh and bone, A spirit that must stand alone. [Verse 5] And now, just stop and think it through… Does this world even need you? And do you need this world? It's true… You’ve read this book, you know the plot, But so many pages are left to rot. Will you give it one more chance to see? When it never gave a chance… to you. [Outro] And so, when all the phantoms fade to grey, The walls of hollow praise have crumbled away, For the first time, I meet the man I’ve known, And finally hear a quiet voice… my own....
