They don't lie. They just show you what you're standing in front of. Take of the mask. ...Now look again. You brought a crown to a room full of mirrors, Called yourself king, but the picture gets clearer. Gold on your tongue, got a counterfeit shimmer, You wanted the throne? Better study the sitter. 말은 많아, 근데 의미는 없어, (So many words, but nothing behind them.) 네가 만든 미로, 난 출구를 봤어. (Your homemade maze? I've already seen the exit.) See, I don't chase ghosts, I interrogate echoes, Every little secret leaves a stain on the fresco. You call it a flex, I call it a confession, Funny how your answers keep avoiding the question. Syntax, synapse, systematic collapse, You build a little kingdom out of linguistic scraps. Backtrack, abstract, artifact, aftershock, You keep checking the time while I'm dismantling clocks. 착각하지 마, 난 아직 시작도 안 했어, (Don't get confused, I haven't even started.) 네 그림자조차 널 떠나려 해, 벌써. (Even your shadow's trying to leave you already.) Read the room. Read the rules. 수를 읽어. (I read the moves.) You thought you made a move? ...I moved the room. Let's talk about perception, correction, reflection, Your ego's got a fascinating fear of inspection. You weaponize attention, disguise it as affection, Then wonder why your mirror won't return the same expression. 가면 뒤에 가면, 또 가면 뒤에 겁, (A mask behind a mask, and fear behind them all.) 네가 세운 벽은 결국 너를 가둬. (The walls you built eventually imprison you.) I don't need a dagger, got a dictionary of fractures, A paragraph of pressure and a gallery of actors. You came for the spectacle, stayed for the autopsy, Now every little metaphor's a door without a copy. Metaphysical, mythical, critical, cynical, Minimal syllables, maximum clinical. Riddle in a riddle, got a middle with a missing piece, You keep demanding answers while I'm rearranging what they mean. 네가 던진 질문, 답은 이미 여기 있어, (The answer to your question was already here.) 근데 넌 못 봐, 네 자존심에 가려서. (But your pride kept you from seeing it.) Did you hear that? That was your certainty leaving. I never said I'd win. I said I knew the ending. There's a difference. 네가 왕이라면, 난 판을 바꿔. (If you're the king, I change the board.) 네가 길을 막으면, 난 지도를 바꿔. (If you block the road, I change the map.) You thought silence meant surrender, Thought restraint was indecision. But I never needed volume To expose a contradiction. Calculate, calibrate, casually invalidate, Every little fantasy you manufacture to compensate. Check the frame, check the name, check the claim, check the game, You can change the definition, doesn't change what it became. 판은 끝났어, 이제야 알겠어? (The game's over. Do you understand now?) 처음부터 넌 네 자신과 싸웠어. (You were fighting yourself from the beginning.) You wanted a villain. I handed you a mirror. ...Checkmate.
