(Verse 1)
You used to talk like you owned the night
Every word sharp as a loaded knife
Thought you were fire, untouchable skin
But even kings start to shake within
You laughed when the tables were stacked your way
Said fate only bends for the ones who stay
Now every shadow knows your name
And it’s whispering back the blame
(Pre-Chorus)
You can run, you can lie
But the truth is close behind
(Chorus)
I see the fear in your eyes
When the lights start to fade
All the masks you wear
Can’t keep it away
You built your throne out of lies
Now it’s falling apart
I hear your heartbeat screaming
In the dark
(Verse 2)
You drew your line, you crossed it twice
Called it power, called it price
Every promise you betrayed
Left a mark you couldn’t erase
Now the walls are closing in
Every ghost wants to be let in
You can feel it in your chest
This is more than just a test
(Pre-Chorus)
Every deal leaves a scar
Every truth shows who you are
(Chorus)
I see the fear in your eyes
When the lights start to fade
All the masks you wear
Can’t keep it away
You built your throne out of lies
Now it’s falling apart
I hear your heartbeat screaming
In the dark
(Bridge)
No crown can save you now
No crowd is screaming loud
You’re standing face to face
With the cost you never paid
The mirror doesn’t blink
It knows exactly what you think
And it’s staring back the same
(Final Chorus)
I see the fear in your eyes
As the truth cuts through
Every step you took
Is leading back to you
You can beg, you can hide
But the night knows your name
And the fear in your eyes
Says you’ll never be to blame
