Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] [soft piano, distant ambience, whispered vocal, slow build] I never asked for this… But it’s mine now [Verse 1] [low vocal, emotional, restrained intensity] Pressure on my chest, I can barely breathe Every step I take, they expect from me All the eyes, yeah, they never fade Every move I make is a price I pay Trapped inside a role I didn’t choose Every win feels like I still lose Voices in my head getting louder now Sayin’ “don’t break down, don’t break down” [Pre-Chorus] [build up, layered vocals, rising tension] I’m holding on but my grip is weak Every promise cuts too deep If I fall, will they let me drown? Or just watch me hit the ground? [Chorus] [powerful, full band, emotional explosion] Heavy is the crown on my head tonight Every breath feels like a fight If I fall, I fall alone Still I carry what I own Heavy is the weight I can’t outrun Burning like a loaded gun If I break, don’t make a sound Heavy is the crown [Verse 2] [rap verse, tight rhythm, aggressive tone] Yeah Built from the pressure, I’m forged in pain Every scar got a different name Every doubt try to dig my grave But I rise every time I break They want a king but they don’t see cost All the battles, all I lost All the nights I was barely sane Still standing in the pouring rain I don’t need their sympathy Just a way to breathe, let me be But the higher I climb, the less I feel Like I’m something real [Bridge] [breakdown, distorted effects, quiet to loud build] Take it back Take it all away I don’t want the throne I don’t want the pain [scream, raw emotion] BUT IT’S TOO LATE NOW [Final Chorus] [epic, layered vocals, choir, full intensity] Heavy is the crown on my head tonight Every breath feels like a fight If I fall, I fall alone Still I carry what I own Heavy is the weight I can’t outrun Burning like a loaded gun If I break, don’t make a sound Heavy is the crown [Outro] [soft piano returns, fading ambience] I never asked for this… But I won’t let it break me
