By Design

[Verse 1] Hate can scream inches from my face, World can burn and leave nothing in its place. Rain can hammer, wind can cut like knives, Doesn’t reach me, doesn’t touch my life. Chaos explodes, whole damn sky falls, I don’t blink, I don’t move at all. [Chorus] Nothing touches me, nothing gets through, Back to the wall — that’s my rule. World can end, let it all burn down, I stay untouched, feet firm on the ground. Eyes locked forward, iron in my spine, Untouchable. Always. By design.   [Verse 2] Lost everything once, felt the full cost, Pain tried to break me — I paid it off. Storms can roar, empires turn to rust, They slide off me like they never touched. I pick my spot, I claim the space, Back to the wall, no one takes my place. [Bridge) Fires can rage and friends can disappear, The weight of the world don’t bring me to tears. I watch it all from my chosen post, Back to the wall, I’m my own ghost. No feeling slips in, no knife finds the time, This is my fortress, this is  by design [Final Chorus] Nothing touches me, nothing gets through, Back to the wall — that’s my truth. Let it all burn, let the sky fall, I stay untouched, I outlast it all. Eyes locked forward, iron in my spine, Untouchable. Always. By design.
