[Intro]
I’ve been chasing shadows, where the light don’t stay,
Living in my head, where the dark won’t fade.
Voices in the silence, but they don’t speak back,
Writing letters to myself, stamped in jet black.
[Verse 1]
It’s a cold world, colder when you’re stuck inside,
I’ve been running from my past, but the pain won’t hide.
Scrolling through my phone, names I don’t call,
A thousand faces on the wall, but I don’t know y’all.
A mask on my smile, yeah, the filter’s strong,
Posting pictures of a life that I don’t belong.
Laugh tracks on my thoughts, comedy’s gone gray,
Every joke I ever told now echoes away.
[Chorus]
I’m the king of a throne made of empty space,
A crown of regrets I can’t replace.
Built my castle on sand, now it’s washing away,
I’m the echo in the room that forgot my name.
[Verse 2]
Every step forward feels two steps back,
Like a train off track, but it won’t collapse.
I’m the architect of pain, built it brick by brick,
Tryna smile through the cracks, but it makes me sick.
They say time heals, but my clock don’t tick,
Hands frozen in the past, yeah, they don’t shift.
I write rhymes like therapy, pen bleeds truth,
Carve my name into this mic just to feel proof.
I told my mirror all my secrets, but it cracked in fear,
I whisper to the void, but it don’t appear.
And every song’s a confession I can’t erase,
They just stream my broken heart, call it "plays."
[Chorus]
I’m the king of a throne made of empty space,
A crown of regrets I can’t replace.
Built my castle on sand, now it’s washing away,
I’m the echo in the room that forgot my name.
[Bridge]
They say, "You’re not alone," but I feel like I am,
Drowning in a sea of ghosts, reaching for hands.
Fingers slip through the mist, all I grasp is air,
The world moves fast, but I’m stuck right here.
Memories like weights, they pull me to the floor,
Knocking on the past, but it won’t unlock the door.
So I sit in my silence, play the quiet game,
While the world forgets my face, but remembers my pain.
[Outro]
I’ve been chasing shadows, where the light don’t stay,
Living in my head, where the dark won’t fade.
They’ll remember my words when the silence grows,
I’m the echo of the lonely that the world still knows.
