Lyrics:

(Verse I)
I feel the weight of the world on my chest,  
Could it be that I’m crawling back from the dead?  
Shadows whisper like they’re part of me,  
Could it be that I’m not who I used to be?
Scars still burn but they fade in time,  
Could it be there’s a reason behind this climb?  
I used to drown in the echoes of doubt,  
Could it be that the silence is finally loud?

Tried to fit in but it broke my spine,  
every mask I wore repressed the signs.  
I dug so deep, I forgot bout my name,  
but the pain I found made me stay in the game.
No clear map but I trust my pace,  
Could it be that I’ve found my rightful place?  
I’m still grieving, but I have chosen to try,  
Now my scars got rythm, not just pain inside

(Hook)
Could it be that I'm breaking through the grey?  
Learning how to breathe in a brand new way  
All these years I was lost inside of me  
But now I see for what I’m meant to be  

(Verse II)
Blinded by the dark, but I reached for the stars  
Now I’m seeing clear what's hidden in my scars
Could it be that I feel some slight relief?
Maybe cause Im learning how to heal the mind beneath

Could it be, Could it be
Can you feel what I feel
Can you see what I see
Can you feel the energy 
unleashed within those bars
so much energy, I feel so high 
flying straight up to mars

Got lost inside but now I see some light,  
Could it be that I’m learning how to win this fight?  
Chains I dragged now feel like wings,  
Could it be that my pain became what sings?
what made me rap, its flowing through my veins
no longer trapped, i found the keys
Could it really be, I wasnt meant for death, yet
buried my old self, left some flowers on its grave's bed

(Hook)
Could it be that I'm breaking through the grey?  
Learning how to breathe in a brand new way  
All these years I was lost inside of me  
But now I see for what I’m meant to be  

(Bridge)
Used to run away, but the pain was always there  
Screaming out for help, nobody seemed to care  
Held my breath just to make it through the night  
But I’m standin here, and I’m holding on tight

(Outro Hook)
Could it be that I'm breaking through the grey
Learning how to breathe in a brand new

COULD IT BE

A song about losing touch with yourself – and what’s left when you do. 
This one came from the part of me that almost didn’t come back.

-Verse I-
I wake up in a body I dont recognize
Getting up gets harder, like I'm paralyzed
Staring at the ceiling, once again I was dreamin
'bout a fulfilled life, without any disguise

Such a beautiful dream, but it fades like the night
now back to reality, with sleep in my eyes
I brush my teeth, I clean my face
Put my mask on, let the fake begin

-Hook-
I'm drifting off, its hard to stay
The me I knew, fading more every day
I feel so distant, so torn apart
Unplugged my soul, logged out of my heart
I'm drifting off, I can't explain
what I really feel - just push it away
I feel so distant, so torn apart
Unplugged my soul, logged out of my heart

-Verse II-
I hid my thoughts so I'd feel less strange
Changed my vibe in a quiet exchange
I laughed when I panicked, it's kinda dumb
Fake smiles in place while I'm breaking, numb

I burned out quiet tryna make it right
Repressed my pride, to avoid the fight
Thought I was strong, but I was wrong
And I forgot what the mask was for

-Hook II-
And again
I'm drifting off, it’s hard to stay  
The me they knew keeps slipping away  
I feel so distant, so torn apart  
Unplugged my soul, logged out of my heart  
I'm drifting off, I don't know what to say
The void in me keeps growing every day
I feel so distant, so torn apart  
Unplugged my soul, logged out of my heart

-Bridge-
I shut myself out to feel in control
but now I'm disconnected
away from my soul
They reached out for me
but I pulled myself away
Till there was nothing left
nothing left to say

-Hook III-
And again
I'm drifting off, I've lost my way
The me we knew just couldn't stay
I feel so distant, so torn apart
Unplugged my soul, logged out of my heart
And I'm drifting off, too far to save
Now I became the mask I made
I feel so distant, so torn apart
Unplugged my soul, logged out of my heart

I create from contrast – always chasing balance between chaos and clarity. Music is my way of turning overthinking into something real, of shaping emotions into sound. I’m driven by aesthetics, detail, and honesty, but I never hide the flaws – they’re part of the art.
