(Verse 1)

Empty gilded cages, yeah, that's what I built my life on

Every step is a conquest. Every whisper a false truth

They called me king, they called me legend, whispered my name in awe

But the throne was cold, the crown too heavy, breaking every law

(Chorus)

Oh, I had it all, the world at my feet, a kingdom to command

But the gold turned to rust, the power to dust, a wasteland in my hands

I was the bad guy, the one who took, never gave, and never tried

And the only thing left, when the applause died, was the echoing lie

(Verse 2)

Shadows danced in champagne flutes, reflections of my empty stare

Traded real connections for the thrill of not caring, not a single prayer

Burned every bridge with a smile, watched the flames lick up high

Thought the heat would warm me, but it only made me sigh

(Chorus)

Oh, I had it all, the world at my feet, a kingdom to command

But the gold turned to rust, the power to dust, a wasteland in my hand

I was the bad guy, the one who took, never gave, never tried

And the only thing left, when the applause died, was the echoing lie

(Bridge)

Now, the silence screams louder than the cheers ever did before

Haunted by the ghosts of chances, knocking at my bolted door

No redemption arc, no last-minute change of heart to find

Just the bitter taste of everything I left behind

(Chorus)

Oh, I had it all, the world at my feet, a kingdom to command

But the gold turned to rust, the power to dust, a wasteland in my hand

I was the bad guy, the one who took, never gave, never tried

And the only thing left, when the applause died, was the echoing lie

(Outro)

Yeah, the echoing lie, it's all that's left of me

The bad guy's anthem, for all the world to see.

Just a fall out from having it all and losing every single thing.
