The Weight of Platinum

*Intro* (Soft piano or ambient synth) In the city of lights, where the darkness reigns I'm searching for a way out, of this endless game *Verse 1* I'm sitting in the high life, surrounded by the bright lights A king-sized suite, with a view of the city's endless nights But my eyes are cast downward, my heart is heavy as stone I'm searching for a way out, of this life I've made my own *Chorus* Oh, the weight of my mistakes, it's crushing me tonight The ghosts of my past, they whisper "you're not alright" I'm trying to find my way, through the darkness and the pain But it's hard to keep on moving, when the guilt remains *Verse 2* I'm dressed to impress, but I'm dying inside A mask of confidence, but my heart is full of pride I'm chasing the highs, but the lows are where I reside I'm trying to find a way, to break free from this endless ride *Chorus* Oh, the weight of my mistakes, it's crushing me tonight The ghosts of my past, they whisper "you're not alright" I'm trying to find my way, through the darkness and the pain But it's hard to keep on moving, when the guilt remains *Verse 3* Maybe I've been living, someone else's dream Maybe I've been hiding, from the truth I need to see I need to break free, from this life that's not mine Find my own way, and leave the guilt behind *Chorus* Oh, the weight of my mistakes, it's crushing me tonight The ghosts of my past, they whisper "you're not alright" I'm trying to find my way, through the darkness and the pain But it's hard to keep on moving, when the guilt remains *Outro* (Soft piano or ambient synth) In the city of lights, where the darkness reigns I'll find my way out, and I'll rise above the pain.
