[Verse 1] Pressure in my temples, counting every sin Voices in the wiring telling me to win Built this throne from panic, from fear and bone Smile for the vultures, I’m never alone I bite my tongue till I taste the truth Every promise rots when it’s bulletproof Eyes on me, yeah, I feel the pull Gold-plated cage and a loaded skull [Pre-Chorus] If I fall, they feast If I rise, they bleed Every step forward Cuts into me [Chorus] I carry the weight of the sins I’m given Every crown’s forged in a private prison Say my name like a threat out loud Heavy is the head that wears the crown. [Verse 2] Mirrors don’t lie but they don’t explain Why the top feels empty and echoes with pain Hands reach up just to pull me down Love turns feral when it smells a crown I learned real quick how power decays Friends turn shadows, loyalty fades Built from fire but I’m choking on smoke Every vow I made feels like a joke [Pre-Chorus] Hold my breath Lock my teeth This is the cost Of sovereignty [Chorus] I carry the weight of the sins I’m given Every crown’s forged in a private prison Say my name like a threat out loud Heavy is the head that wears the crown. [Verse 3] Late nights talking to the dark inside Trying to kill the fear without losing my spine I drew these lines, yeah I chose this fight But the higher I climb, the thinner the light I don’t want mercy, I don’t want praise Just silence in the spaces where the doubt decays If I crack now, let it all be known I stood my ground on a splintered throne [Bridge] Cut the cord Burn the throne I’m still king When I stand alone No halo Just scars I own Truth hits harder When the lies are gone [Chorus] I carry the weight of the sins I’m given Every crown’s forged in a private prison Say my name like a threat out loud Heavy is the head that wears the crown. [Outro] Let it sink, let it drown Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
