"Punk Rock Princess (Yellow Bird Requiem)

[Verse 1]  
Met you in a song I wrote  
Before I ever knew your name  
Spiked heart on my sleeve,  
I sang dreams into the flame

Doc Martens, chipped black nails  
Eyes like they burned through the veil  
You laughed like every rule was dumb  
You danced like the war was won

[Pre-Chorus]  
You were chaos wrapped in grace  
A battle cry with lipstick taste  
And I was lucky just to stand  
Where your yellow wings would land

[Chorus]  
Punk rock princess, you're still in my veins  
Tattooed deep in all my days  
I lost you to the darkest tide  
But I still love you on the other side  
You were real, you were mine  
Not a dream—just lost in time  
Punk rock princess, you were the fight  
And I’d still choose you every night

[Verse 2]  
We built castles out of chords  
Family dinners, basement tours  
Board games, inside jokes at shows  
Kisses underneath the afterglow

Then they came—like rust, like fire  
Jealous tongues and cracked desires  
I couldn’t save you from that war  
But I still keep your voice in store

[Pre-Chorus]  
You'd say, “Don’t break, just bend the world”  
My strong, sad, feral girl  
I scream your name in every line  
Still chasing what we left behind

[Bridge]  
Now I sleep beside a dog named Hope  
In a rusted home with a heart that copes  
But I'd trade every song I've sung  
Just to hear you call me “the one”

[Breakdown – Spoken/Raw Vocal]  
And maybe love don’t last forever  
But we were fire—we burned better  
I don't regret a single spark  
You lit the match that saved the dark

[Final Chorus]  
Punk rock princess, you're still in my veins  
Forever burned in all my pain  
You flew away but left your light  
Now I howl your name into the night  
You were real, you were mine  
My yellow bird lost in the climb  
Punk rock princess, you were the fight  
And you’re still with me  
Every night
