[Intro]
Soft lights on polished chrome, a map that gleams in silver rain
Shadows study every move I make, like critics in a private plane
[Verse 1]
I walk through doors I bought with breath I barely own
A fortress built from careful lies, the seeds of quiet throne
Timeline apps and trophies gleam, but something's missing shade
A whisper in the hall asks, who is this usurper in my praise?
[Pre-Chorus]
If luck stitched every seam and fate drew every line
Then what am I when the mirror asks for a sign?
[Chorus]
Am I real, or a borrowed flame?
A careful echo wearing my name
If every step was fixed in fate's design
Then who am I when the lights go blind?
[Verse 2]
I count the nights where doubt was king, the miles I did not show
The quiet hand that steadied me, the seeds I did not sow
I hear the chorus counting me, in perfect, polished bars
But the beat inside keeps asking who, and who are the stars
[Pre-Chorus]
If luck stitched every seam and fate drew every line
Then what am I when the mirror asks for a sign?
[Chorus]
Am I real, or a borrowed flame?
A careful echo wearing my name
If every step was fixed in fate's design
Then who am I when the lights go blind?
[Bridge]
Maybe the work is mine, not merely fate’s applause
Maybe worth is built in storms, not a flawless cause
I’ll own the cracks, I’ll wear the scars like a crown
And learn to say I am here, not just found
[Chorus]
Am I real, or a borrowed flame?
A careful echo wearing my name
If every step was fixed in fate's design
Then who am I when the lights go blind?
[Outro]
Let the veil fall slow and true, let honesty be the door
If I am what I have become, I’ll claim the open floor
