Bilingual
I learned my name underneath the spotlights
Lost my voice building a throne
You thought that silence could not testify
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 stratеgy
Watch it fall apart
The masks slip and the mirrors break
Injury turnеd sovereignty
I won't bleed to belong 'cause I
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
Take aim strategy
Watch it fall apart
The masks slip and the mirrors break
Injury turned sovereignty
I won't bleed to belong 'cause I
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 matter in rooms where nothing's sold
The story gets cold
When I declare checkmate, I own my board
My own pawns will ever conquer my world
I thrive in truth while you lose control
I learned my worth when I stood alone
