You scream my name into the mic Is this the life that we are supposed to like? You paint me gold, you paint me bright But I’m stumbling home alone at night You turn our secrets into rhymes Selling out a thousand times You built a tower, made it tall But I’m not there to catch you when you fall I don't want the velvet throne I’d rather stand here on my own Take the picture, frame the lie But look me in the damn eye! I am not a song for you to sing! I am not a diamond or a ring! I am not a queen inside a cage! I am not a picture on a page! Cut the wire, stem the flood I am only flesh and blood! NO MORE KINGS! (Just flesh and blood!) I miss the coffee and the morning sun Before the race had just begun I miss the boy who held my hand Before he wanted to rule the land You’re chasing shadows, chasing high You don't even see the empty sky You love the echo, not the voice And now you leave me with no choice I don't want the velvet throne! I’d rather stand here on my own! Burn the script and kill the lights I’m done with all your holy nights! I am not a song for you to sing! I am not a diamond or a ring! I am not a queen inside a cage! I am not a picture on a page! Cut the wire, stem the flood I am only flesh and blood! NO MORE KINGS! Take it off. Take it off. The plastic crown. Take it off. Burn it down. BURN IT DOWN! I am not a song for you to sing! I am not a diamond or a ring! I am not a story for the stage! I am breaking out of this cage! Cut the wire, stem the flood I am only flesh and blood! NO MORE KINGS! NO MORE QUEENS! JUST FLESH AND BLOOD! (I'm not your doll...) (I'm not your muse...)
