Lyrics:

[Intro]
People sleepwalk through life…
and only when they die… they finally wake.
So wake up before you die —
rise before your eyes close forever.

[Verse 1]
The one-eyed man among the blind?
He’s the one they call a king.
You inhale your first breath…
and before you can blink,
they’re already engraving your name
painting your faith,
assigning your race,
preloading your “place”—
like a software update you never accepted.
They script your grammar,
brand your morals,
draw your borders…
yet what you call truth
might be my lifetime myth —
and what I call freedom
might feel like treason in your system.
Life’s a hall of mirrors,
philosophies bouncing off the walls
of whatever raised you.
So tell me — is this your reflection
or a hologram they coded to look like you?
And why that tension dripping off your face?
It’s only a thought you didn’t even speak —
but look at you… sweating bullets
from a sentence stuck in your brain’s draft folder.

[Chorus]
Running with the herd in this marathon — run, run, never stop.
If there’s a rest stop anywhere,
I just want something cold
ice down my thoughts.
How long am I supposed to keep running
like a broken robot?
Should I buy a bike
just to cheat this whole damn plot?

[Verse 2]
I’m not asking you to steal fire
like Prometheus on parole —
just travel from yourself… to yourself,
like a pilgrimage inside your own skull.
No storm can stop a soul
that already saw its destination
drawn inside its bloodstream.
Nobody chooses your fate but you —
so who’s this clown editing your desires?
What’s next?
You gonna hand him your breath,
your bed,
your bride —
wrapped like a gift?
You’re the hero of this damn novel —
so why are you auditioning
for background roles?
Stop acting like a footnote
in a chapter you were born to headline.
If you don’t define yourself,
they’ll design you themselves…
Blueprint your heart,
barcode your mind,
sell you back your identity
with a hidden subscription fee.

[Outro]
Who forced you into this borrowed sense of belonging?
Loving and hating
just to match the tribe’s costume?
Break free.
who can’t even imitate themselves?
