[INTRO] Everybody wants a name on the marquee Everybody wants a lane they can own Everybody wants the sound that they can sell I want the sound that follows you home [INTRO LIFT] Not another copy Not another costume Not another number Waiting for a room [VERSE 1] Rock star, rap star, cowboy with a gold chain Everybody building castles from a four-second dopamine Post it, boost it, feed it to the machine Make a thousand little songs praying one becomes the dream Generate slop till the feed gets full Mass-produce noise till the numbers say you’re useful Maybe one catches, maybe one goes gold Maybe ten thousand disappear before anybody knows Everybody wants the shortcut Everybody wants the crown Everybody wants the algorithm To tell them they belong now [PRE-CHORUS] Slow down Let it breathe Find the thing That’s underneath Don’t ask me What I should be I’m building something Only I can hear in me [CHORUS] You can chase the crown You can chase the name You can chase the numbers Till they all look the same I don’t wanna be another song I wanna be the one you can’t leave alone Hit replay Hit replay If it lives inside your head Then it never fades away [POST-CHORUS] Replay Replay Replay [VERSE 2] I would rather carve one sound into the bone Than manufacture noise just to prove I’m not alone Study every frequency Every silence Every scar Turn the thing inside my chest Into a language for the dark Everybody wants the finished picture Nobody wants the years Nobody wants the failures Nobody wants the ears It takes to hear the difference Between louder and alive Between a generated answer And a reason to survive [PRE-CHORUS] Slow down Master the flame Learn the process Learn the pain If the machine Can speak my language I’ll teach it What I became [CHORUS] You can chase the crown You can chase the name You can chase the numbers Till they all look the same I don’t wanna be another song I wanna be the one you can’t leave alone Hit replay Hit replay If it lives inside your head Then it never fades away [BRIDGE] I’m not trying to make the machine a soul I’m trying to learn how to put mine into code Every word Every wound Every rhythm Every ghost Every sound I couldn’t explain Until I finally learned the language [BUILD] This isn’t faster This is deeper This isn’t more This is mine [BREAKDOWN] MAKE IT YOURS MAKE IT MATTER DON’T MAKE NOISE MAKE IT LAST [BREAKDOWN ESCALATION] NO MORE SLOP NO MORE STATIC NO MORE CHASING WHAT THEY CALL MAGIC [INSTRUMENTAL] [FINAL CHORUS] You can chase the crown You can chase the name You can chase the numbers Till they all look the same I don’t wanna be another song I wanna be the one you can’t leave alone Hit replay Hit replay If it lives inside your head Then it never fades away [FINAL HOOK] I don’t wanna be another song I wanna be the one you can’t leave alone [FINAL IMPACT] Hit replay Hit replay Hit replay [OUTRO]
