UMBASA* - Opiates Lyrics

Cut through the silence, shadows dance in flickered lights
A kingdom of one, throne built on cold nights
Footsteps echo in halls of faded fame
The whispers linger, but they don't speak my name

Walls built from the beats, they crumble, they fall
I walk through the rubble, standing ten feet tall
Ink bleeds from my pen, stories untold
Silver turned to lead, friendships bought and sold

Watch me navigate the ruins, I'm the sole survivor
Dodge the debris, my rhymes sharper than a sniper
Lost some brothers to the grip too tight
Chasing dragons in the shadows, outta sight

The game's rigged, the stakes are high
But I play on, let 'em wonder why
I'm the last one standing, the rest just echoes
I walk this path alone, where nobody follows

Riding high, unstoppable, this crown never tilts
I've seen giants fall, felt the pain, the guilt
Echoes in the void, they scream, they cry
Lost in the overdose, why'd they even try

(Quick tempo, aggressive guitars)
I've watched the titans tumble, felt the earth shake
Standing in the aftermath of every heartbreak

This stage is mine, lyrics cut deep like a knife
Every line a tribute

A tribute, every verse a stolen life
They played with fire, got burned, ashes to dust
Left me here in the cold, in myself I trust

The bass drops low, the darkness comes
I feel the pulse, the beating of the drums
A storm's brewing, I'm the eye, I'm the center
Chaos all around, but I won't enter

Crushing power, the beats slam
Echoes of the lost, damn
They're just memories fading fast
I'm built to last, built to outlast

Silence falls, the echoes fade
In this game of shadows, I've got it made

The stage is empty, the crowd is gone
But my voice carries on, carries on strong
