All Falls Down

[Intro] (Soulful vocal sample over an acoustic guitar loop) Spoken softly: "We all got something we’re trying to hide... but when it all falls down, the truth shows." [Verse 1] I’m stuck in this mirror, who do I see? A version of myself I pretend to be. I’m chasing validation like it’s gold, But inside, my heart’s growing cold. They say money changes everything, that’s a lie, It just shows the cracks we’re scared to hide. Designer fits, but my soul don’t fit right, Trading inner peace for a fast life. [Hook] When it all falls down, who will I be? (will be?) Just a shadow of the man that I wanted to see (see) We’re all lost, searching for the crown, But the truth comes out when it all falls down (down) [Verse 2] College loans piling up like bricks, Told us education would make us rich. But I’m stuck in this cycle, the debt won’t quit, And the system’s rigged, man, they benefit. Social media got us chasing ghosts, Highlight reels while we struggle the most. I’m learning every win comes with a cost, Sometimes the gain ain't worth what you lost. [Hook] When it all falls down, who will I be? (will be?) Just a shadow of the man that I wanted to see (see) We’re all lost, searching for the crown, But the truth comes out when it all falls down (down) [Bridge] (Soulful vocal sample repeats, layered with soft strings) Why we hide? Why we lie? Building walls just to survive. But when they crumble, and we’re left alone, Will we find ourselves or just the unknown? [Outro] (Beat strips back to acoustic guitar and vocals) Spoken softly: "Maybe falling is the only way to find the ground... and rise again."
