[Intro] I kept a door open for a person who never came. A future version of myself with my face and my [drums kick] shame. [Verse 1] I was born with a countdown clock embedded under my skin, every mistake had an expiration date, every failure a place to begin. [Chorus] "Don't worry, kid, the man you'll become will erase what you've done." A promise made by a ghost who never learned how to run. [Breakdown] I SAVED MYSELF FOR A TOMORROW THAT NEVER EXISTED. I BUILT A SHRINE OUT OF REGRETS AND CALLED IT A SECOND CHANCE. [Verse 2] I watched my life like a corrupted VHS tape, rewinding moments I was too afraid to escape. A thousand versions, a thousand mistakes, a thousand hands pulling me backwards through time. But every time I reached the past THE PAST WAS MINE. [Chorus] "Don't worry, kid, the man you'll become will erase what you've done." A promise made by a ghost who never learned how to run. [Mathcore Section] Turn the wheel. Break the chain. Kill the loop. Repeat the pain. [Bridge] If I met myself at seventeen, would I recognize the fear? Would I say: "Don't make this mistake"? Or would I disappear? Because maybe every scar was a message from before. Maybe every broken piece was the map I was looking for. [Final Breakdown] FUTURE ME. WHERE ARE YOU? YOU WERE NEVER COMING. YOU WERE ME. [Chorus] "Don't worry, kid, the man you'll become will erase what you've done." A promise made by a ghost who never learned how to run. "Don't worry, kid, the man you'll become will erase what you've done." A promise made by a ghost who never learned how to run. [Final Scream] STOP TRYING TO ESCAPE THE PERSON YOU BECAME.
