[Verse 1] Morning light feels like a loading screen Confidence spawns for no real reason No warning signs, no error tones The world feels tuned to let me run Voices hit like silent buffs Pushing me faster than my doubts No failure state in sight back then Still living in the tutorial round [Pre-Chorus] Numbers climbing, clean and bright Something missing out of sight That quiet loss had no display So I never hit delay [Chorus] Buff Buff / Debuff! Built up bravado, buffering trust Bit by bit I boosted the bluff Didn’t debug what I rushed Buff Buff / Debuff! Stacked all the shine, never enough Level by level I lightened the load Till the core went cold and I froze [Verse 2] Upgraded thoughts, adjusted frame Decided solo was the game Applause drifted into noise Safe zones faded, no choice Cracks grew under polished skin One quick fix wouldn’t patch within Didn’t check my HP drop Till the signal blinked nonstop [Pre-Chorus 2] Every win removed a part Crossed a line without a chart Past the point you turn around Didn’t hear the system sound [Chorus] Buff Buff / Debuff! Built up bravado, buffering trust Bit by bit I boosted the bluff Didn’t debug what I rushed Buff Buff / Debuff! Stacked all the shine, never enough Level by level I lightened the load Till the core went cold and I froze [Bridge] No retries in this phase Waiting on a heal that never came Stripped of stats, stripped of roles What remains when it all unloads [Final Chorus] Buff Buff / Debuff! Built up bravado, buffering trust Bit by bit I boosted the bluff Didn’t debug what I rushed Buff Buff / Debuff! Stacked all the shine, never enough Level by level I lightened the load Till the core went cold and I froze
