[Verse 1]
Moonlight glows on my hands, they’re trembling but clean
A velvet crown in my chest, nowhere to be seen
We all grow up like ghosts in these marble halls
But I still taste my name written on the walls
---
[Pre-Chorus]
No one knows what I gave up
To wear this silence like a glove
Every breath feels like a dare
But I was born for this, I swear
---
[Chorus]
I’ve got royal blood running under my skin
No one can take what I keep within
They never thought I’d rise but here I stand
With royal blood on my hands
And I’m not sorry — I was never meant to fit
In a world that doesn’t want me to commit
To anything less than my own flood
I’m royal blood, I’m royal blood
---
[Verse 2]
Whispered names and brittle kings, they flicker and they fade
But my fire burns forever like a vow I never made
Every throne’s a fragile chair if you lean too close
I was raised to haunt these halls, to be my own ghost
---
[Pre-Chorus]
No one knows what I gave up
To wear this silence like a glove
Every breath feels like a dare
But I was born for this, I swear
---
[Chorus]
I’ve got royal blood running under my skin
No one can take what I keep within
They never thought I’d rise but here I stand
With royal blood on my hands
And I’m not sorry — I was never meant to fit
In a world that doesn’t want me to commit
To anything less than my own flood
I’m royal blood, I’m royal blood

[Instrumental Break – 8-12 bars Slow build of deep synths, reverb-heavy percussion, and lush vocal harmonies. The bass hums like a heartbeat while airy choir vocals rise and fall, creating an ethereal, cinematic feel. Layers of strings and echoing synths swirl together until they crash into the final bridge.]
Ohhhhh woahhh
Ohhhhh woahhh ohhh
Woahhh ahhhhhh!
---
[Bridge – whispered & ethereal]
I wear my name like a secret
And my fears like jewels that gleam
And I’ll hold this weight forever
If it means I’m finally seen
---
[Final Chorus – powerful, then fading]
I’ve got royal blood running under my skin
No one can take what I keep within
They never thought I’d rise but here I stand
With royal blood on my hands
And I’m not sorry — I was never meant to fit
In a world that doesn’t want me to commit
To anything less than my own flood
I’m royal blood, I’m royal blood
Royal blood… royal blood…
---
[Outro – airy & soft]
And I’m not sorry
Never sorry
I’m royal blood.
