[Intro – solo piano, Vocal A]

There’s a voice beneath my skin,
wearing my name like it belongs.
It counts every scar I’ve ever carried,
turns every right into a wrong.

It says,
“You’ll never be enough.”
“You’ll break the ones you love.”

So I learned to fear
the silence
in the rhythm of my blood.

[Pre-Chorus – piano rising, distant strings]

Every step I take,
it follows.

Every breath I steal,
it knows.

But tonight...
I’m not running.

No, tonight...
I let you go.

[Chorus – full melodic lift, Vocal A + Vocal B harmony]

Bury every word
you carved inside my bones.

I don’t need your mercy.
I don’t need your throne.

You built your kingdom
out of all my fears.

Now I’m watching every wall
disappear.

You’re not my savior.
You’re not my ghost.

You’re just
the loudest lie
I’ve ever known.

[Layered echo]
I’ve ever known...

[Melodic Interlude – piano motif becomes synth melody]

[Verse 2 – Vocal B]

You called me
a bad father.

A bad son.

A broken man.

But the people that I love
never spoke your language.

Only you
could turn their hope
into my shame.

And every time
they reached for me,

you told me
to look away.

But I hear them now.

I hear them now.

[Pre-Chorus – Vocal A joins]

Every step I take,
you follow.

Every breath I take,
you know.

But tonight...
I’m not running.

Tonight...
you let me go.

[Chorus – evolved harmony]

Bury every word
you carved inside my bones.

I don’t need your mercy.
I don’t need your throne.

You built your kingdom
out of all my fears.

Now I’m watching every wall
disappear.

You’re not my savior.
You’re not my ghost.

You’re just
the loudest lie
I’ve ever known.

[Bridge – drums disappear, both voices trading lines]

[Vocal A]
If this is war,

[Vocal B]
I’m laying down

[Both]
everything
that was never mine.

[Vocal A]
Take your crown.

[Vocal B]
Take your chains.

[Both]
Take every name
you made me wear in shame.

I’m leaving...

you behind.

[Instrumental Rise – glass chime signature, soaring melody]

[Final Chorus – BOTH, biggest melodic resolution]

You were never in the people
standing next to me.

You were only in the mirror
staring back at me.

I spent years believing
your name was written into mine.

Now I know...

who the impostor is.

Bury every word
you carved inside my bones.

I don’t need your mercy.
I don’t need your throne.

You built your kingdom
out of all my fears.

Now there isn’t
a single wall
still standing here.

You’re not my savior.

You’re not my ghost.

You’re just
the loudest lie
I’ve ever known.

[Final melodic refrain – layered voices]

I know who I am now.

I know who I am.

[Outro – everything disappears except piano]

The mirror still remembers
the man I used to fear.

I don’t.
