Lyrics

I learned my name underneath the spot lights
Lost my voice building a throne
You thought that silence could not testify
(But I) Heard echoes I didn’t own
Fake smiles scaffold heavy lies
“Take the abuse and bleed clockwise”
No leash, no more restraint
I choose what’s real, I choose my name
I... I walked the chessboard blind
Delusion is the refuge of cowards
Black and white, stay in line
You forgot the queen holds the most power
Take aim
Strategy
Watch it fall apart
The masks slip and the mirrors break
Injury
Turned sovereignty
I won’t bleed to belong
I declare checkmate
I own the board
None of your pawns can
Conquer my world
I thrive in truth
While you lose control
I learned my worth
When I stood alone
I’m not your product, I’m not an object
Wounds close and scars do fade
Turn empty eyes inwards, see what you became
Listen... every slammed door sounds the same
Zwischenzug
End game
They already know my name
I matter in rooms where nothing’s sold
The story gets cold
