[Verse 1] You walk in, every smile’s a lie Hiding the knife behind your eyes Twisting truth to fit your game Helping yourself and you feel no shame Loyal to none but your own name Leaving scars, you feel no pain Nothing's too low, no step too small Somehow, you still rise despite it all [Pre-Chorus] You twist every word, leave truth behind Craft a world of your own design A polished smile, but empty within While no one calls out the game you’re in [Chorus] I’ll walk my path, let you run fast In a world of shortcuts, I’m built to last It’s a quiet road, a steady fight But truth outlasts a dying light You rise on lies, quick to ascend I’ll keep pace and win in the end [Verse 2] You’re more transparent than you know You cut down others to steal their glow Drown out voices that question you Surround yourself with a loyal few Shift the blame, hide your mistakes spin your web, whatever it takes Everyone sees, but no one speaks While you keep playing hide-and-seek [Pre-chorus] You twist every word, leave truth behind Craft a world of your own design A polished smile, but empty within While no one calls out the game you’re in [Chorus] I’ll walk my path, let you run fast In a world of shortcuts, I’m built to last It’s a quiet road, a steady fight But truth outlasts a dying light You rise on lies, quick to ascend I’ll keep pace and win in the end [Bridge] There were those you used and betrayed And the ones who stayedstayed, you led ray Built your kingdom on borrowed pride Though they all see, they let it slide [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] I’ll walk my path, let you run fast In a world of shortcuts, I’m built to last It’s a quiet road, a steady fight But truth outlasts a dying light You rise on lies, quick to ascend I’ll keep pace AND win in the end [Outro] This is your game, I’ll let you climb As I hold steady, and take my time Eyes on my path, steady and clear Watching as you disappear
