[Verse 1]
You built your throne on empty lies,
Made from promises that disguise,
Golden lights but shadows creep,
Secrets that you'll never keep.
[Verse 2]
Walked the halls of hollow fame,
Every step it felt the same,
Cold applause for fake success,
Built on lies, nothing less.
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you hear it crack? Did you see it break?
All the false pretense you make,
Every rule you bent and twisted,
Has left your crown completely misted.
[Chorus]
Paper crown upon your head,
Made of lies you've always fed,
Paper crown will fall apart,
When truth strikes at your heart,
Paper crown, it's all pretend,
This charade will have to end.
[Verse 3]
Mirror shows what you've become,
A hollow king, your reign is done,
All you built on shifting sand,
Slipping through your grasping hand.
[Verse 4]
Now the crown is torn and frayed,
All your grand illusions fade,
What looked like gold was only paint,
You're no king, you are no saint.
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you hear it crack? Did you see it break?
All the false pretense you make,
Every rule you bent and twisted,
Has left your crown completely misted.
[Chorus]
Paper crown upon your head,
Made of lies you've always fed,
Paper crown will fall apart,
When truth strikes at your heart,
Paper crown, it's all pretend,
This charade will have to end.
