[Verse 1]
They told me the shape I should wear
Gave me the smile, the part in the hair
I walked where the sidewalks all bent the same way
Nodded at faces I couldn’t name
Something inside kept kicking the door
Whispered the name that I wasn’t before
I swallowed it down with the rest of the noise
Till the silence got louder than all of their voice

[Chorus]
It’s a gift and a curse
To stand where you are
When the crowd keeps on moving
And you’re still in the dark
It’s a gift and a curse
To finally see
That the person you buried
Was always just me
(And nobody’s waiting
When you walk off the line)

[Verse 2]
I stepped off the concrete they painted so clean
Into the dirt where the real things had been
No more mirrors that only showed what they need
Just the crack in the glass and the blood underneath
They called me a fool for the way that I turned
Said the path that I chose was the one that would burn
But the fire felt warmer than anything cold
That they handed me smiling and told me to hold

[Chorus]
It’s a gift and a curse
To stand where you are
When the crowd keeps on moving
And you’re still in the dark
It’s a gift and a curse
To finally see
That the person you buried
Was always just me
(And the only one listening
Is the one that you find)

[Bridge]
Now the room’s got more space than it used to before
And the phone doesn’t ring like it rang anymore
I sit with the shadow that used to just scream
And it tells me the truth that I never could mean
I’m here. I’m still here.
Even if no one else is

[Guitar Solo]
Intense, raw, melodic grunge guitar solo with heavy distortion, feedback, bends, and emotional phrasing, building from sparse notes into a soaring, anguished climax, Nirvana-style chaos with Silverchair melodic undertones, no vocals

[Final Chorus]
It’s a gift and a curse
To stand where you are
When the crowd keeps on moving
And you’re still in the dark
It’s a gift and a curse
To finally see
That the person you buried
Was always just me
It’s a gift and a curse
It’s a gift and a curse
It’s the only thing left
When you’ve burned every bridge

[Outro]
Walk your own path…
Even if it ends here.
