Is This For Me

[Verse 1]
I drew my name
Along the wall
Not for the crowd
Not theirs at all

I kept the chalk
Inside my hand
A private line
Across the land

[Pre-Chorus]
If no one sees the mark
Does it still carry weight?
If everyone repeats it
Did I choose it too late?

[Chorus]
Is this for me?
Or for the room?
A little proof
Against the gloom

Is this for me?
Or for their eyes?
I leave a scar
Then call it mine

[Verse 2]
I built a door
Without a key
Measured the frame
To fit just me

Then came the hands
Against the grain
They traced the shape
And changed the name

[Pre-Chorus]
If praise becomes the pen
And doubt becomes the page
Am I making something true
Or dressing up a cage?

[Chorus]
Is this for me?
Or for the room?
A little proof
Against the gloom

Is this for me?
Or for their eyes?
I leave a scar
Then call it mine

[Bridge]
Take the monument down
Let the dust cross the floor
Keep the splintered design
I was hiding it for

If the meaning survives
When the witnesses leave
Then the mark has a pulse
Then it belongs to me

[Final Chorus]
Is this for me?
Or for the room?
I choose the wound
I choose the bloom

Is this for me?
Or for their eyes?
I leave a scar
And let it testify

[Outro]
No one can own
The hand that began
No one can name
What I understand
