Weight of Betrayal

[Intro] I came back empty-handed, no blade, no throne, no war. I only wanted answers from the house that locked the door. [Verse 1] You wore pain like a crown, called the silence peace. I saw the child inside you still begging to be free. I reached past the ruin, past the stories they sold. But you stood with the kingdom that left you in the cold. [Pre-Chorus] I tried to save you, but you became them. I tried to know you, but you erased me again. [Chorus] You gave me to the wolves you chose, then called it love, then called it home. I was blood beneath your bones, but you left me there alone. You made me the demon, so they wouldn't let you in. I tried to save you, but you became them. [Verse 2] Now they speak my name like they ever asked me why. Ten years of poison, ten years dressed as light. You don’t know my story, you know the mask they made. You don’t know my sorrow, you only know my blame. [Pre-Chorus] I tried to save you, but you became them. I tried to reach you, but you condemned me again. [Chorus] You gave me to the wolves you chose, then called it love, then called it home. I was blood beneath your bones, but you left me there alone. You made me the demon, so they wouldn't let you in. I tried to save you, but you became them. [Bridge] No honest words. No open doors. Just borrowed lies and family wars. No empty chair. No truth to hold. Just another crown made out of old ghosts. [Breakdown] You don’t know me. You know their lie. You don’t know me. You never tried. You don’t know me. You chose the throne. You fed me to wolves so you wouldn’t stand alone. [Final Chorus] You gave me to the wolves you chose, then called it love, then called it home. I was blood beneath your bones, but you left me there alone. You made me the demon, so they wouldn't let you in. I tried to save you, but you became them. After all these years, after all this stone, after all the stories you told when I was gone… [Outro] You claim to know me, Yet it's my blood on the Mic Blood on the Mic is now streaming on Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, YouTube Music, and other major platforms.
