“Halo of Scars”

Yeah…

It’s a long way down from the top of a dream…

I been bleeding in silence, but I still reign supreme…

They don’t see the pain in the crown’s gleam…

---

I been driftin’ through a world I don’t recognize,

Ashes in my wake, stars fallin’ from my skies.

Built a throne, now I sleep where the ghosts lie,

Talkin’ to the moon, hopin’ she don’t lie.

I gave ‘em love and they weaponized my peace,

I gave ‘em strength and they left me in the streets.

Now I walk with a smile that don’t reach deep,

And I rise every time that they pray I’m weak.

---

I wear a halo made of scars, not gold.

I been fightin’ for a world gone cold.

They only love you when your story’s sold…

But I’m still burnin’, still bold, still whole.

And if I fall, I fall like the sun at night,

Just to rise again, shinin’ through the fight…

Yeah, I wear this pain like armor — it fits just right.

---

Used to chase peace like a dream I forgot,

Now I see truth in the battles I fought.

Let the world change me, I changed it back,

Turned all my losses into my soundtrack.

I’m not a villain, just a soul that cracked,

A king that laughs ‘cause I can't go back.

But I still love, yeah, it hurts like hell —

Every scar a story I got left to tell.

---

I'm still that kid with the flame in his hand…

Still holdin’ hope in a world full of sand…

I ain’t ask for this… but I’ll die where I stand…

---

I wear a halo made of scars, not gold.

Every wound a crown, every tear controlled.

I walked through hell and came out cold…

But I’m still burnin’ — yeah, that’s my soul.

So if the world ends, just know my name,

I was born in pain, and I rose in flame…

The Dragon King still breathes — still plays the game.

---

Ooh-ooh… still got fire in these veins… still got dreams they can’t contain…
