(intro) (1) You had the mansion / passion / fashion / no action. Every plan was expansion, invention / but no satisfaction. Blueprints built, skyscrapes scraped the sky, but the higher you climbed, the hollower the high. Had the woman, the crown, the car with the sound / the kingdom was loud, but your heartbeat drowned. Every triumph felt like silence dressed as noise, every choice / void, every joy / destroyed. (Chorus) You had it all / and you let it stall! Walls made of glory collapsed in the hall. Steel turned to sorrow, fortune to dust, the empire you trusted betrayed your trust. (2) Every morning / motion, notion, devotion, you crafted oceans from sparks of promotion. But the fire was hollow, echo shallow, shadows follow / nothing to swallow. Drinks with friends turned bitter in glass, laughter slipped, the moments passed. Crowds around you / but no one near, faces faded, the voices smeared. Her beauty burned / but your eyes were blind, you left her warmth for the frost inside. Victories stacked like stones in a tomb, you built your palace / you carved your room. (Pre-Chorus) You said curse, I heard choice. You called it fate, but I heard no voice. You had the crown / but the crown had you. You wore the silence… ’til the silence wore through. (Chorus) You had it all / and you let it stall! Walls made of glory collapsed in the hall. Steel turned to sorrow, fortune to dust, the empire you trusted betrayed your trust. (3) You built cathedrals of glass with your hands, you wrote tomorrow in lines on the sand. Every invention — another reflection, but each perfection birthed disconnection. Monuments rose, but your hunger stayed numb, the louder you sang, the deader the drum. Creations kept coming, but meaning kept running, and silence kept humming: "You are already done." (Bridge) And then… the glass breaks in me. The words I spit are knives I see. The curse I damned / my own decree. The kingdom I mocked was my own debris. I wasn’t telling your tale / I was carving out mine. The witness and the corpse… always intertwined. (SOLO) (Chorus) Then I will rise, I will break these chains, rewire the silence, rewire the veins! The fire will burn, the crown will stay, I will not end in this wasted way! (Final Chorus) No! I was the witness to my own demise. A ghost in the mirror with hollow eyes. Time was mine / but I let it fade, and now I rot in the grave I made. (Outro) Don’t wait. Don’t waste. Don’t choke the flame. I speak from silence… I speak… your name. © 2025 - skvadMC
