[Intro] Silent whispers in the night, Questions rising, shining light. Lost in thoughts, a distant sea, Who am I, and what do I see? [Verse 1] Kids today, a different style, Breaking rules, running wild. Discipline's a faded hue, Is it me or is it you? [Pre-Chorus] Balancing the scales, what’s right, what’s wrong? Walking on the edge, questioning all along. Responsibility or escape, which do I choose? Caught in a world I can't refuse. [Chorus] Why add weight when I seek to fly? Subtract the burdens, reach the sky. Maybe I’m lost, maybe I’m free, Seeking answers only I can see. [Bridge] Psychopath or just misunderstood? Living heavy or feeling good? One day they'll comprehend, The need to bend, the need to bend. [Outro] In the silence, find my way, Maybe someday they will say, That in my solitude I found, A different path, profound. [Intro] Seen it all, the rise and fall, seeking truth in a crowded hall [Verse 1] Growing wiser, learning fast, shadows of the past that last They ask for validation, but it's just manipulation, a twisted foundation [Pre-Chorus] Why chase approval from those who bring me down? Their words like arrows, piercing, causing doubt and pain [Chorus] I'm stronger now, I see the game, no longer caught in shame Fighting for my peace, release the chains, breaking free from vain Validation's hollow, I don’t need their praise, I found my way Living in my truth, come what may, I won’t be swayed [Verse 2] Lessons learned in silence, strength in defiance, finding my alliance They seek to destroy, but I reclaim, my worth, my voice, my flame [Pre-Chorus] No more playing their game, I’ve risen from the ashes, reclaimed my name Let their words fall away, I’ve found my own way [Chorus] I'm stronger now, I see the game, no longer caught in shame Fighting for my peace, release the chains, breaking free from vain Validation's hollow, I don’t need their praise, I found my way Living in my truth, come what may, I won’t be swayed [Bridge] Age has brought clarity, a new perspective, a liberating view I don’t need their approval, just staying true to what I do [Outro] Now I understand, I hold my stand, walking tall on shifting sand Their words don’t define me, I’m finally free, embracing what I am
