Inverse Legacy

[Verse 1]
Why, God, did You craft me to burn? Was I not created in Your image?—guess I’ll never learn.
Walkin’ through fire like it’s part of the plan, but if I’m made in Your hands, why’s the pain built in the man?
Sink, resurface, then I sink again, every time I breathe, I feel the cycle begin.
9-5 suicide, clock in, clock out, livin’ for survival, but what’s life about?
In moments of peace, I crave the war, mind stay restless, I been here before.
Everything is temporary—what was I made for? If the past is a grave, is the future the door?
[Hook]
I’ve seen planets turn to stars, stars turn to dust
Gifted and disturbed—man, that’s just how it was
Beauty ain’t a blessing when it cuts you deep
Cursed with the eyes of an artist, I don’t ever sleep
[Verse 2]
Mourning something even as it’s happening, who I used to be, yeah, he’s vanishing.
Plastered smiles, studies show “you’ll be fine,” but numb ain’t healing, it’s just wasting time.
Burdens on a silver plate, they serve it up clean, told to chase the dream, but the dream ain’t what it seems.
Eye of the beholder, but what if my gaze only sees the world in a violent haze?
Like a fire infects a forest, I walk in smelling smoke, maybe I should try softer, but the softer get broke.
Unmovable passion, unstoppable river, I keep shapeshifting, but the pain still lingers.
[Hook]
I’ve seen planets turn to stars, stars turn to dust
Gifted and disturbed—man, that’s just how it was
Beauty ain’t a blessing when it cuts you deep
Cursed with the eyes of an artist, I don’t ever sleep
[Bridge]
Conjuring creatures, mind at war, I think I’m dreaming still—what’s real anymore?
To take on life is to take a life too, kill who I was just to make it through.
[Outro]
Look at all this, shit, inverse legacy, illusion of choice—was it ever up to me?
Is this it?—man, I don’t even know, evolution despises order, so I let it flow.
