Lyrics By: J.G. Argo ©2026 [Intro – Bare / Breath / No Beat] I remember kneeling… Hands shaking… eyes closed tight… Begging for a voice… That never answered back… Second guessing every move “Am I not worthy… to be spoken to?” (soft echo) …spoken to… …not worthy… Silence pressed against my chest Like I failed some unseen test… I held my breath… I played the part— While doubt was tearing through my heart… --- [Verse 1 – Soft / Controlled] Cloaked in shadows, I called it truth Swallowed fear like it was proof Every question buried deep Every doubt I couldn’t keep I was told my heart was wrong Taught to silence what felt strong So I learned to split in two— Who I was… and who I “knew” --- [Pre-Chorus – Lift] Every prayer fell into space No reply… no saving grace Just a weight I couldn’t shake— Was it me… or their mistake? --- [Chorus – First Release] Freedom found inside my mind But it cost me everything I’d defined All those lies that shaped my heart— I had to tear them all apart Now I’m standing in the flame No more fear to speak my name What I lost… I had to lose Just to finally choose --- [Verse 2 – Lowest Point / Raw] The harder I tried, the deeper I dropped Started questioning if it was worth it or not That emptiness echoed, it swallowed me whole Like a quiet collapse somewhere under my soul I stood on the edge of just giving it in Numb to the weight, to the noise, to the spin So I blurred out the silence, just trying to cope— Smoke in my lungs… and a bottle of hope --- [Rap Verse – Confession / Beat Drop] Yeah… I remember nights I couldn’t even sleep, Heart racing like I buried something deep, Every prayer felt like I talked to the wall, Still I blamed myself like I was the flaw They said “truth” but it felt like a cage, Every line just tightened the page, I was searching for love but I found control, Tryna save my spirit while it swallowed my soul And I hate that it took me this long to see, That the voice I was chasing… was always me, Had to break every version they built in my head, Watch it fall just to feel what was real instead Yeah… There was fear when I finally let go, Like “what if I’m wrong?” I didn’t know… But the silence hit different— It felt like home --- [Bridge – Breaking Point / Minimal] I cried in the dark where nobody knew Not for a god—but for what I went through All of the years I gave away Trying to follow… trying to stay But something deeper pulled at me Not above—but underneath And in that fall… I finally saw— There was never anything wrong with me --- [Final Chorus – Full / Cathartic] Freedom found inside my mind But it cost me everything I’d defined All those lies that shaped my heart— I had to tear them all apart Now I’m standing in the flame No more fear to speak my name What I lost… I had to lose Just to finally choose --- [Outro – Soft / Resolution] (whispered) I remember kneeling… …but I don’t anymore… Now I stand…
