Another night, the walls are closing in Echoes of the noise, a battle I can't win
Paint a perfect picture, just to please their eyes
But the colors all run out under all the lies
Every promise that I made begins to crack and break
How much more of my own soul can I forsake
They're waiting for a signal, a sign, I'm doing fine
But all they'll get's this empty, this fractured fault line
But I'm not breaking down, I'm breaking free
This is the only version that's ever been me
You hear the noise, but I'm the symphony
A king inside, a storm you'll never see
Yeah, this is my encore, my final stand
I got the future like a die here in my hand
You build the walls, but I own the land
Try to understand
Check the resume, the scars, the pedigree
Built from broken pieces, a sight you wouldn't believe
They drew the lines, I drew a different map
No turning back, no falling for the trap
I see the cracks, I think the foundation's weak
They only hear the whisper, never feel the shriek
I'm the ghost in your machine, the code you can't delete
The bitter and the sweet, the rhythm and the beat
This ain't a cry for help, it's a victory speech
A lesson that I had to personally teach
Cause I'm not breaking down, I'm breaking free
This is the only version that's ever been me
You hear the noise, but I'm the symphony
A king inside, a storm you'll never see
Yeah, this is my encore, my final stand
I got the future like a die here in my hand
You build the walls, but I own the land
Try to understand
I'm the spare note
Singing on, singing on
Let it bleed, let it bleed
Let it bleed
The spotlight's a fever, the silence is worse
Rehearsed every line, but it just comes out a curse
This fractured reflection is starting to clear
The person I hated is all that I have here
So I'll take the fragments and sharp edges too
And build something out of something raw and so new
This ain't for the critics, the hype or the flame
It's just screaming my name, a combustible flame
All the static in my head
The voices I've been fed
Trying to be someone I'm not until I forget
Who I was at the start
This is the hardest part
To tear their world apart
And listen to my own heart
I'm not breaking down, I'm breaking free
This is the only version that's ever been me
You hear the noise, but I'm the symphony
A king inside, a storm you'll never see
Yeah, this is my encore, my final stand
I got the future like a die here in my hand
You build the walls, but I own the land
Try to understand
Try to understand
Try to understand
Stand up
Stand up
