"Enjoy your life," yeah, that’s what they say

While they’re locking you up in a cage every day

I’ve walked this road, too many times,

Faced the end, but the end rewinds.

"Be serious," "Stay in the line,"

I’m wasting my breath, I’m wasting my time!

The stars align, the clock rewinds,

The universe whispers, "Not this time."

Profit and loss, it's a cost of the soul

They’re selling you pieces, but I want the whole

I’ve stood on the edge, felt the wind call my name,

Daring the void, yet it’s always the same.

Tell me, what’s "profit" to a man in a cell?

What’s "gain" to a prisoner living in hell?

A car swerves, a hand pulls me away,

The cosmos decides I’m meant to stay.

Every time I think I’m free,

The world conspires to cradle me.

Fate rewrites my final line,

Locks me here, defying time.

Whose life is this? Whose rules are these?

I’m cutting the strings, I’m killing the breeze!

When do I get to die?

When does the story end, and I say goodbye?

The universe won’t let me fall,

It rewinds the tape, it answers the call.

MY OWN SCALE! I measure the world with my eyes

I decide the truth, I decide the lies

MY OWN SCALE! Kill the standards you hold

I won’t be a pawn in the stories you told

Death row is waiting, the clock's on the wall

Does your "win or lose" matter to them at all?

Bedridden, broken, fighting for breath

What’s your "status" in the face of death?

When do I get to go?

Every thread of fate refuses to let me know.

I’m trapped in a web I can’t deny,

So tell me, when do I get to die?

Life is a gamble with no loaded dice.

If tomorrow never comes, and the sky starts to fall...

Did I live for myself?

Or was I just a ghost in your "correct" world?

I’ve seen time freeze, as if on cue,

Synchronicity binds me, a cosmic glue.

A stranger appears, a moment aligns,

The tapestry shifts, I’m reassigned.

Maybe I’m cursed, maybe I’m blessed,

A pawn in a game, the eternal test.

Why won’t it break, why can’t I fade?

What debt remains that I haven’t paid?

MY OWN SCALE! I scream on my own terms

Heaven or hell, I’ll watch while it burns!

MY OWN SCALE! Shatter the hollow dream

I am here, and this is my scream!

When do I get to die?

When does the curtain fall on this endless sky?

The universe won’t let me leave,

Its threads entwine with every breath I breathe.

I’ve screamed at the heavens, cursed the design,

Demanded an answer to this life of mine.

But silence replies, the stars just stare,

As if they know, but they don’t care.

"Enjoy your life," they said.

"Winner takes all," they said.

Survival of the fittest? A rat in a maze—

I’m burning the map in a cynical blaze!

MY OWN SCALE! I measure the world with my eyes

When do I get release? When does it cease?

MY OWN SCALE! I decide the truth, I decide the lies

Trapped in the maze, I can’t deny—

GET OUT OF MY WAY!

The only winner in the end... is me!

Maybe I’m here for a reason unknown,

A tethered soul I can’t disown.

MY OWN SCALE! I am here, and this is my scream—

But I still wonder…

When do I get to die?

So… am I winning yet?
