No Validation

[Verse 1] Listen to the keys, hear the deep notes ring Walked through the fire just to feel the sting Scars on my back from the ones I trusted most Sitting in the dark raised a toast to my ghost Pressure on my chest, thought I’d cave, thought I’d break Learned the hard way every smile was a fake Made a ocean out of pain, drowned my old disguise Now I stand alone with the cold in my eyes. [Verse 2] I was looking for a savior in a pitch-black room Fighting all the demons that were born to consume Friends turned strangers, promises decayed Left me in the shadows where the debts got paid I don't need a pedestal, I don't need a crown Built my own kingdom from the ashes on the ground Silent with my moves, aggressive with my drive It took a hundred deaths just to feel alive. [Chorus] I got nothing left to prove to a soul alive Bury all your judgment, watch me still survive Heavy low keys echoing deep in the dark I am the fire, I am the spark No validation, no sympathy requested Every single battle made me battle-tested I don't play your games, I don't follow your design This is my world, and the rules are mine. [Verse 3] Tempo in my chest, beating 144 Stepped out the wreckage and I closed that door They wanted me quiet, they wanted me tame Now they speak my story, but I don't care 'bout fame Betrayed by the blood, tested by the knife Traded all my weakness for a ruthless life Look me in my face, see the D minor grey I’m the sudden storm that won't blow away. [Chorus] I got nothing left to prove to a soul alive Bury all your judgment, watch me still survive Heavy low keys echoing deep in the dark I am the fire, I am the spark No validation, no sympathy requested Every single battle made me battle-tested I don't play your games, I don't follow your design This is my world, and the rules are mine. [Bridge] (Piano motif plays solo, dark and spacious) In the silence of the night, I finally found my voice When the world gave me nothing, I still had a choice No applause... no crowd... Just the sound of my own heartbeat loud... (Bass drops aggressively) I bled for my name, I bled through the pain! You bought the illusion, I mastered the game! [Outro] No approvals needed. No hands left to hold. Through the fire and the cold... I write the rules now. Just me. Just my story. (Deep piano note fades out)
