Lyrics
[Verse 1 – rhythmic, low tone]
Small life, no control
Out here playing a role
Lucky I don’t feel now
Nothing left to explode
Used to hurt, now it’s cold
Numb skin, quiet soul
Maybe losing my heart
Was the price I was owed
Plans in my head
How to make a few millions
Maps on the wall
Building silent dominion
Talking big numbers
Like I’m already chosen
But deep in my chest
There’s a fear I don’t open
[Pre-Chorus – melodic rise]
Nothing hurts
Nothing breaks
That’s the peace
That I fake
[Chorus – hypnotic, simple]
Out of control
But I don’t show it
No tears
I just hold it
Dreaming of millions
Counting the days
Scared if I win
I might lose it the same
Out of control
But I stand still
Big plans
Low will
[Verse 2 – more personal, sharper]
I say I’m focused
I say I’m locked in
But most days
I don’t even begin
Ambition loud
Action low
Want the throne
But scared to grow
If I get rich
What if I fall?
What if I lose it
After it all?
So I stay numb
Safe in between
Not too big
Not unseen
[Bridge – almost spoken]
Maybe I’m scared
Not of losing
But proving
I could’ve been more
[Final Chorus – restrained]
Out of control
Inside my mind
Million dollar dreams
With a broke inside
Out of control
But I won’t cry
Nothing hurts
So I survive
