​[Intro: Orchestral Strings and Sad Piano Solo] (Spoken word, deep voice, heavy sigh) Yeah... It’s that same old illusion. Time’s up. Joker X. ​[Verse 1: Melodic Storytelling Rap, Steady Beat] Look, it’s that same old illusion, the time has expired Just a cold loneliness that my demons acquired The pain remains resident, setting the fires ‘Cause the one in my heart is the one I admired. She’s still sleeping inside, yeah, she’s haunting the deep And the ache never leaves, man, it plays on repeat. They claim that the clock gonna heal up the wound That the sun gonna rise and I’ll be out of this room. But I’m drunk on the memory, sipping the doom Sinking deep in the photos that scatter the gloom. I wanted to bury ‘em, torch ‘em, and burn But they force me to think, yeah, they force me to learn. ​[Chorus: Sung, Anthemic, Emotional, Layered Vocals] Tears of joy, nah, they don’t fall on their own I’m just trying to get close to the throne To be one among everyone, one in the zone But I’m standing in silence, feeling unknown. Yeah, tears of joy, they don’t drop from the sky I’m just fighting to look in your eye To be one of the thousands that walk getting by While I’m stuck here just waiting to die. ​[Interlude: Dramatic Violins and Drum Break] ​[Verse 2: Intense Flow, Rising Emotion] The hours ain't moving, they crack in the glass I’m losing my breath, suffocating on gas. It’s heavy, it’s messy, I’m failing the class My world froze to ice when you decided to pass— Out the door! Yeah, the day that you left Was the day that I turned into nothing but theft. Stolen moments, now I cover up alone In the sheets of the night, cold down to the bone. If I had a little space, just an inch for a friend To spill out the emotion, to signal the end I would tell ‘em the light is a liar, a fake! It burns out so fast, leaves you nothing but ache. ​[Chorus: Sung, Anthemic, Power Vocals] Tears of joy, nah, they don’t fall on their own I’m just trying to get close to the throne To be one among everyone, one in the zone But I’m standing in silence, feeling unknown. Yeah, tears of joy, they don’t drop from the sky I’m just fighting to look in your eye To be one of the thousands that walk getting by While I’m stuck here just waiting to die. ​[Outro: Fading Piano and Soft Strings] (Spoken) One among thousands. That’s all I wanted to be. Just a face in your crowd. But the light lies... (Fade out)
