[Chorus - melodic rap, breathy, last word held] World of my illusions... slowly moving in my heaaaad Images drift like water, softly spreaaad I close my eyes and let them dance, I don't need to understand Every colour feels like magic slipping through my hands [Verse 1 - fast dense rap, staccato, aggressive] I built a castle made of clocks, but clocks don't build a home The higher up I stacked my dreams, the more I stood alone I mapped the life I'd never live on paper, ink, and bone A perfect girl in perfect frames โ€” a stranger I had known The mirror showed me everything I thought that I should be But every "should" became a cage, and every cage โ€” a sea I swam in circles, called it growth, I called the storm a breeze I dressed my fears in golden clothes and called them expertise I planned the future like a god who never makes mistakes I drew the lines, I drew the face, I drew the perfect breaks But lines on paper fade at dawn when real life slowly wakes And all those castles I designed were just elaborate fakes So here I am โ€” the architect of walls I cannot climb I wrote the script, I cast the role, I even wrote the crime I thought the dream and I were one โ€” we just ran out of time You can't control the life you live by making it all rhyme [Chorus - melodic rap, breathy, last word held] World of my illusions... slowly moving in my heaaaad Images drift like water, softly spreaaad I close my eyes and let them dance, I don't need to understand Every colour feels like magic slipping through my hands [Chorus - melodic rap, breathy, last word held] World of my illusions... slowly moving in my heaaaad Images drift like water, softly spreaaad I close my eyes and let them dance, I don't need to understand Every colour feels like magic slipping through my hands [Verse 2 - fast dense rap, staccato, aggressive] They said "just visualize it, girl, and watch the magic come" So I visualized till I went blind โ€” now look at what I've become I chased the version of myself that lived inside my thumb Scrolling through the highlight reels till all my fingers went numb I wore ambition like a crown but crowns will always fall I climbed so high on what-ifs that I couldn't hear my call The goals I set were clean and bright โ€” reality was small When small met bright I called it wrong โ€” I should've called it all My expectations were the gun, my patience was the trigger The closer that I got to "there", the gap just kept growing bigger I thought the pain meant I was weak โ€” turns out it made me richer But rich means nothing when you're broke in places no one figures So now I sit with what I have and let the picture blur Not every dream becomes a life, not every life โ€” a cure I stopped performing who I'd be and started being her The castle's gone โ€” but I'm still here, and here is what occurs [Chorus - melodic rap, breathy, last word held] World of my illusions... slowly moving in my heaaaad Images drift like water, softly spreaaad I close my eyes and let them dance, I don't need to understand Every colour feels like magic slipping through my hands [Chorus - melodic rap, breathy, last word held] World of my illusions... slowly moving in my heaaaad Images drift like water, softly spreaaad I close my eyes and let them dance, I don't need to understand Every colour feels like magic slipping through my hands [Outro - whispered, breathy, tape hiss rises] ...just
