(Verse 1 - Melodic, sing-rap flow, weary but poetic) I used to walk in a room and the atmosphere would shift, Pretty brown eyes, bright smile, that was the gift, Now I'm posted in the cut, hoodie low, I don't speak, Same mirror, different man, knees weak, soul leaking. When did I start letting people treat me like I'm lesser? When did I stop checking on my own heart, my own pressure? I parceled out my power like I had it to spare, Now I'm crawling on the ground, picking fragments from the air. I put poison in my body, knew the cost, paid the price, Trying to drown the ache, but I drowned the light twice. I used to tend to me, now I don't even try, I used to laugh at storms, now I watch them pass by. Days dissolve like sugar, but the nights congeal like blood, Same four walls, same循环, same unrelenting flood. I'm still here, still breathing, still clawing for a way, But my mind ain't operating like it operated yesterday. (Chorus - Layered vocals, raw and aching, choir hums underneath) When did I lose myself? When did the fracture start? Thinking less of myself, tearing my own heart apart? When did I doubt myself? When did I fall? Who took me from me? I don't know me at all. When did I lose myself? When did I change? Putting things in my body, feeling deranged. When did I hurt myself? When did I break? Who took me from me? I need me back today. (Verse 2 - Flow tightens, more urgent, still melodic, deeper pain) I don't wanna be seen, I don't wanna be known, I just wanna sit here in the dark on my own. Confidence departed like it caught the last train, I'm watching it leave, but I can't feel the pain. I used to touch the room, now I barely touch the floor, Wondering who I was and what I was fighting for. Is it the drugs? Is it the hurt? Is it the years? Is it the people who took my trust and fed me my tears? I don't know the answer, I just know I'm not me, I'm a phantom in my own skin, trying to break free. I wanna get back to the man I used to be, The one who smiled at the sun, the one who believed. But the road back is dark, and I'm walking alone, Looking for a light that I used to call home. So I'm asking out loud, hoping somebody knows, Who took me from me? Where did I go? (Chorus - Full energy, choir swells, 808s knock harder) When did I lose myself? When did the fracture start? Thinking less of myself, tearing my own heart apart? When did I doubt myself? When did I fall? Who took me from me? I don't know me at all. When did I lose myself? When did I change? Putting things in my body, feeling deranged. When did I hurt myself? When did I break? Who took me from me? I need me back today. (Verse 3 - Beat drops to piano only, voice raw, almost broken, searching for redemption) I remember when I was the pulse of the party, Now I'm the one leaving early, feeling sorry. I remember when I could look at myself, Now I turn my face away, I don't want no help. I remember when I was strong, when I was sure, Now I'm second-guessing everything, nothing is pure. I remember when I was me, when I was free, Now I'm asking the universe: who took me from me? But somewhere in the silence, between the doubt and the shame, I hear a voice whisper gently, calling me by name, Saying, "Child, you're not lost, you still got a choice, The man you're looking for ain't gone, he's just buried in the noise. I never left your side, I held you through the night, I saw every tear you cried, I saw every fight. You ain't too far gone, you ain't too far down, I'm reaching for your hand, I'm pulling you from the ground." And something in my spirit starts to stir and awake, A flicker of the man I was, for my own sake. I'm not giving up, I'm not giving in, I'm fighting for my soul, I'm fighting to win. (Chorus - Full energy, choir swells, 808s knock, triumphant but humble) When did I lose myself? When did the fracture start? Thinking less of myself, tearing my own heart apart? When did I doubt myself? When did I fall? Who took me from me? I don't know me at all. When did I lose myself? When did I change? Putting things in my body, feeling deranged. When did I hurt myself? When did I break? Who took me from me? I need me back today. (Outro - Spoken, slow, fading, voice cracks then rises with hope) I don't know when it happened. I don't know who to blame. Maybe it was me. Maybe it was the pain. But I know I'm still here. And I know I can fight. I just gotta find me. I just gotta find light. Who took me from me? I'm taking me back. Polo energy.
