Lyrics

Intro

I stare at the mirror, but the mirror stares back,

A stranger in the glass with a plan off track.

Voices in my head, they don’t ever relax,

They’re scribbling graffiti on my mental cracks.

But the kid with the speaker just wants to pretend.

If the system is a game, then I’m breaking all the rules,

I’m the dropout with a crown, I’m the king among the fools.

Bridge

Or am I just noise in the static?

Do you fear me now?

Chorus

Balancing the truth and dread.

Every step’s a beat, every breath’s a test,

I’m alive in the chaos, I
