[Intro]

Bold enough to dream, brave enough to try

Cold enough to sleep, cried enough to say bye

On a mission to redeem, and I’m not safe enough to climb

F**k sky, I wanna climb to the surface

Been too low, dull enough to cut it


[Verse 1]

Fit a tear in a cup, shining like a diamond drop

Stop using my tears, my feelings, my ears

As I hear the fear in the drums of my ear

I know they tore a chord—

Too useless yet expensive, I can’t afford

A board to write goals

Too poor to fill holes

In a chest full of goals—I carved them

With blades of diamond, blades of tears

Wrote papers but not old enough to sign it


[Verse 2]

I stay silеnt even if I’m all ears

I’m morе mature

Than adults that are sure

That life isn’t a curse

As the poor steals a purse

And the pathetic steals a heart

As the people disperse, there lies a war

I shine like a star—

Too bright, they can’t get close

They too far, I look dim

A dim light burning with sins

I wanna repent, but the scent

Of my own blood is meant

To refresh my tongue like mint


[Bridge]

I’m ready to spit out the regret

I let myself take over

VYN is over—

As my parents don’t want a loved son

But a warm rover

Cover a face with smiles

Cover the case with lies

As I smile at the judge

I smile to God as I don’t budge

Hell in a cage and a spark touched

My heart—it felt warm

I’ve gone through the storm


[Verse 3 / Outro]

This is the aftermath

I didn’t study math—

My dad left then

I didn’t smile in a picture—

My mother left then

My sister is standing there

I’m the one who left them

I realized when

I knew that then

I should’ve thrown talent and blend

With a family full of hate

But I gotta satiate their hunger

To satisfy mine

And wake them from the slumber

As I take mine
