Checkmate

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
