Untitled

Gold-plated brain, heavy with the weight

Of thoughts that scatter, never congregate

I'm a maze with no map, a flame with no match

Every blessing they see is a wound I can’t patch

They envy the glow, but it burns my skin

A kaleidoscope mind, where do I begin?

Time slips like sand, slipping through my hand

They call it a gift, I call it quicksand

They want the shine, but they don’t want the fight

Wanna wear the crown, but not the sleepless nights

This cursed crown, it sparkles, it stings

They see a throne, I see puppet strings

I’m drowning in a sea of scattered dreams

The life they crave ain’t what it seems

Thoughts ricochet like bullets in my skull

A symphony chaotic, never dull

I’m the architect of castles that crumble

Their envy blind, but my steps stumble

The clock laughs cruel, minutes bleed

Focus a phantom I can’t ever feed

They want my mind, but not my unrest

This crown they crave is a thorny mess

They want the shine, but they don’t want the fight

Wanna wear the crown, but not the sleepless nights

This cursed crown, it sparkles, it stings

They see a throne, I see puppet strings

I’m drowning in a sea of scattered dreams

The life they crave ain’t what it seems

They want the shine, but they don’t want the fight

Wanna wear the crown, but not the sleepless nights

This cursed crown, it sparkles, it stings

They see a throne, I see puppet strings

I’m drowning in a sea of scattered dreams

The life they crave ain’t what it seems
