### **[Verse 1 ]** I’m hedonistic by design, Esoteric with the signs, World spins quicker when you peep behind the lines (yuh) Everything fragile, change in a blink, One moment you’re flying, next moment you sink I been solo, shadows turned to daylight, What was tucked away came crawling to the limelight They ain’t even subtle, they don’t hide schemes, Feed you fear nightly, pipe dreams in HD Screens keep buzzing, everybody yelling “lies,” Truth sound crazy till it’s broadcast five times Who’s mad online but won’t step in the street? Who’ll rage in the comments but won’t move their feet? Cycle keep spinning, scandals get buried, Next viral clip and the memory’s blurry Pressure on my mind, so I numb it with a drink, Easier to sleep when you don’t overthink --- ### **[Chorus]** You don’t defeat darkness By waiting for the sunrise Look into my eyes You do it by lighting a fire You don’t defeat darkness By waiting for the sunrise Look into my eyes You do it by lighting a fire Watch ’em run Their kingdom’s done My kingdom come (My kingdom come) --- ### **[Verse 2]** They said “keep it quiet,” I said “nah, speak,” Whole world dressed up, rotten underneath Private jets, closed doors, deals off-screen, Clean image, dirty hands, know what I mean Idols on pedestals cracking with age, Morals for sale, still trapped in a cage They argue left, they argue right, Same puppeteers pulling strings every night News tell you when to scream, when to chill, Who to love, who to hate, who to kill (metaphor) I don’t care what flag you wave or sound you play, Human over everything — that’s where I stay If the truth ever hit with no filter, Whole system shaking like glass in an earthquake center So they drown it in noise, distractions, applause, While we fight each other instead of the cause --- ### **[Chorus]** You don’t defeat darkness By waiting for the sunrise Look into my eyes You do it by lighting a fire You don’t defeat darkness By waiting for the sunrise Look into my eyes You do it by lighting a fire Watch ’em run Their kingdom’s done My kingdom come (My kingdom come) --- ### **[Outro]** No saviors on screens. No kings on thrones. If it’s coming at all… We build it ourselves. My kingdom come.
