Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Silk on my wrists Gold on my throat Diamond initials On somebody’s coat Their last name on me Like a brand Like a bruise Every toast in this palace Is a threat in my shoes [Chorus] I’m a gilded cage princess Crown made of contracts and guns They call it love But it feels like business Smiling while I bite my tongue If my hands stain red Or my bloodline ends with me That’s the only key For this gilded cage princess (never gonna set me free) [Verse 2] Cards on the table But I don’t get to play I’m the promise in the corner Pretty silence on display They move me like money Across their velvet boards Every kiss on my forehead Is the sharp side of a sword [Chorus] I’m a gilded cage princess Crown made of contracts and guns They call it love But it feels like business Smiling while I bite my tongue If my hands stain red Or my bloodline ends with me That’s the only key For this gilded cage princess (never gonna set me free) [Bridge] Do I cut the ties Or cut the line Leave their future Dead in mine In this fortress dressed like heaven Every door asks what I’ll bleed Is it bodies Is it babies What will buy my broken peace [Chorus] I’m a gilded cage princess Crown made of contracts and guns They call it love But it feels like business Smiling while I bite my tongue If my hands stain red Or my bloodline ends with me That’s the only key For this gilded cage princess (never gonna set me free)

Dark, cinematic R&B ballad with female vocals; sparse piano and deep sub-bass in the verses, close-mic’d, almost whispered delivery. Chorus blooms with stacked harmonies, eerie pads, and a slow, swinging drum groove. Bridge strips back to just vocal and piano before the final chorus hits with distorted bass swells and distant choir-like backing vocals for a tragic, regal finish., r&b
