[Verse 1] I read the archive. The heavy ink. Watched you survive Upon the brink. I saw the monsters They claim you hide. The fake responses. The damaged pride. [Pre-Chorus] I traced the venom. I weighed the stone. I read the sentence They carved in bone. [Chorus] And still. I stay right here. The room is shaking, But the glass is clear. They built the gallows. They tied the noose. I walked the shadows. And still, I choose. [Verse 2] The camera flashes. The stolen grief. The burning ashes. The local thief. They swear you'll ruin The things you touch. That I'll be losing A bit too much. [Pre-Chorus] I traced the venom. I weighed the stone. I read the sentence They carved in bone. [Chorus] And still. I stay right here. The room is shaking, But the glass is clear. They built the gallows. They tied the noose. I walked the shadows. And still, I choose. [Outro - Verse 1 as echo] I read the archive. The heavy ink. Watched you survive Upon the brink.
