[Intro] [turntable scratching, distorted guitar riff, heavy drums] [Verse 1] [melodic male vocals] My name is everywhere But I'm not really there They put my face on every screen My name up in the sky I never wanted all of this I just wanted to fly They watch me through the windows They listen when I speak They talk behind my back in secret While they blabber my name is weak They curse me in the daylight They celebrate at night Build me up like a legend Then cut me like a knife I smile for the cameras But the smile's just a mask Trapped inside this golden cage I'm longing for my past They own my name, they sell my soul But the real me is someone they'll never know [Chorus] [aggressive shouted vocals, heavy distorted guitars] They love me, they hate me I play the game they complicate me They love me, they hate me I beg the love that suffocates me They love me, they hate me A golden cage that suffocates me They love me, they hate me Somebody please just liberate me [Verse 2] [melodic vocals, bass-driven rhythm] Mirrors in my shadow While they drag me through the dirt Praise me like a hero Then treat me like I'm hurt Voices in my head keep spinning Reeling they collide I can't escape the madness No matter how I try They cheer when I'm shining And they laugh when I fall down My name got the whole world But inside I'm just a clown Living in this golden prison With no key inside my head I'm screaming for my freedom In a place nobody understands They own my name, they sell my soul But the real me is someone they'll never know [Chorus] [aggressive shouted vocals] They love me, they hate me I play the game they complicate me They love me, they hate me I beg the love that suffocates me They love me, they hate me A golden cage that suffocates me They love me, they hate me Somebody please just liberate me [Bridge] [vocals drop to a whisper, clean guitar arpeggio] Can you hear me calling? (He-he) I'm disappearing I never asked to be a king I never asked for all this fame [crescendo] I just want to feel alive again Break these golden chains! [Chorus] [full intensity, double-kick drums] They hate me I play the game they complicate me They love me, they hate me I beg the love that suffocates me They love me, they hate me They love me, they hate me I play the game, golden cage They suffocate me, they love me I hate me Somebody please just liberate me
