Do you want to know why I chose myself?
Come a little closer, let me tell you
Everything I saw, everything I heard

Small actions
Turning people into copies

Even if everyone credits someone
To validate me
I am whole on my own

When I took a step back
When I took a step back
The focus shifted
The illusion cast by your eyes
No longer blinded me

I even created the beginning of an expectation
Like someone who already knows
It will be erased
It wasn't a promise
It was projection

And to imagine those black opal eyes were slag
Only I would be the solitary queen

Even if everyone credits someone
To make me better
I am whole on my own

That love felt like an abyss
Trying to devour my dreams and my ideas
Your affection flooding my mind
Drowning my thoughts

I am not a decorative crown
Meant to adorn your ego

Only I would be the solitary queen

I am the queen of the path I chose
I only sit where I can stay whole
