Pause a Second Ⅲ Lyrics

I sit still, let the air fill the gaps

Moments in the silence, yeah, they talk back

Fame's a room with no doors, just mirrors

Every face I see, it keeps getting clearer

I'm not who I was, but I'm scared to let it go

Held the weight of the world, just to feel like I'm whole

They tell me you've made it, but made what?

A castle of gold, where the walls don't trust

I hear them say my name like it's carved in the stars

But the sky feels empty when you're staring from Mars

Could've been a kid on the block, broke and bitter

Stuck in a loop, drowning in the river

Now I got rivers of applause, it drowns me the same

Funny how success and pain play the same game

Pause a sec

Am I still chasing dreams or just running from regrets

Every song's a therapy session I never planned

A diary in disguise for the crowd to demand

What's the price of a life that's no longer mine

Trading my soul for a pen and a rhyme

Do they see me or just the idea of me

Built the stage so high, I forgot how to breathe

And the walls close in when the show is done

Lights dim down and I'm left with none

But echoes of a voice I barely know

Is this what it means to truly grow?

They say prophets find peace in a struggle

But I find pieces of myself in the rubble

Pause a sec, was it worth the climb

Every scar, every loss, every borrowed time

Pause a sec
