Cursed Melody [Verse 1] In the spotlight I paint my pain, Silver echoes inside my veins. Every note like a fragile prayer, Floating upward through poisoned air. They see the glow of a rising star, They never notice the hidden scars. A voice that trembles yet still obeys, Dancing softly through hollow praise. [Pre-Chorus] With a heart so heavy my soul’s on fire, Bound to a stage I can’t retire. Every breath becomes a debt, A life unpaid, a slow regret. [Chorus 1] Oh I'm cursed to sing, cursed to bleed, Breath of creation devouring me. A lullaby born from broken chance, This cursed melody pulls me to dance. Every harmony stealing my breath, A beautiful waltz with a quiet death. I give them light while fading away, A ghost in the glow of the songs I play. [Verse 2] Every applause cuts sharper than knives, A roaring ocean devouring lives. They cheer for the magic lighting the air, But never see the despair I wear. A thousand eyes in the darkened room, Blooming bright while I slowly consume. They sing along to the sound of my soul, Unaware of the toll it stole. [Pre-Chorus] This fate I loathe tightens the noose, Each chord a bruise I cannot refuse. The louder they cry for one more song, The further I drift where I don’t belong. [Chorus 2] Oh I'm cursed to sing, cursed to breathe, A fragile fire they never perceive. A serenade woven out of despair, A trembling truth hidden in air. Each rising note pulls part of me, Into a tide I cannot flee. They see a dream beneath the light, But I feel the cost of every night. [Breakdown] Take it back Take the voice you gave to me Take the echoes Take the need Every stage Every scream Every shattered silver dream You want more You want more You want more of me But I'm breaking in the melody. [Bridge] When the curtains fall and the lights grow dim, The silence becomes a fragile hymn. I sit with the ghosts of the songs I’ve sung, A thousand endings still undone. Do they feel the weight I hide, Behind the smile and the swelling tide? Or am I only a fleeting sound, A spark that fades when no one’s around? [Chorus 3] Still I'm cursed to sing, cursed to stay, A fading flame they beg to play. A shattered anthem stitched in rhyme, Bleeding slowly through borrowed time. Each final note a quiet plea, A whisper lost in the symphony. Yet even knowing what it will be, I step again toward the melody. [Outro] So I’ll sing until my voice is dust, Until the spotlight forgets my trust. Chasing the joy inside their eyes, Even as something inside me dies. This path of passion jagged and wild, Where every song devours the child. And if the music demands my soul, Then let this cursed melody take it whole.
