(Verse 1)
I've got the picture frame on the wall, the perfect smile in the hallway
Got the front-row seat to the slow fall, a manufactured holiday
They said this was the prize for the fight, the perfect end to the long run
I'm bathed in this artificial light, and it feels like I’ve already become undone
(Pre-Chorus)
Is this the love that I craved so much? The one I screamed for in the dark?
Every moment is a gentle crutch, and every touch is just a mark
I'm just a statue in this pristine room, a hollow man in a gilded cage
Trapped inside my own beautiful tomb, turning a gilded, empty page
(Chorus)
And the weight of forever is crashing down
On the good life in this perfect town
The love I found is just a heavy crown
I’m a king on a throne, with no love all around
Just the echo of a scream without a sound
(Verse 2)
The engine hums outside the door, the promised land of broken dreams
I don't even know what I fought for, everything’s not what it seems
The silence is the loudest noise, in a home built to be a shelter
Just an endless list of broken toys, in this emotional welter
(Pre-Chorus)
Is this the love that I craved so much? The one I screamed for in the dark?
Every moment is a gentle crutch, and every touch is just a mark
I'm just a statue in this pristine room, a hollow man in a gilded cage
Trapped inside my own beautiful tomb, turning a gilded, empty page
(Chorus)
And the weight of forever is crashing down
On the good life in this perfect town
The love I found is just a heavy crown
I’m a king on a throne, with no love all around
Just the echo of a scream without a sound
(Bridge)
I can still feel the concrete cracks where I stood on the outside looking in
Now there's no turning back, now the real punishment can begin
They said you'd find a purpose and a place, you’d finally find your rest
But now I'm staring into this empty space, and this "good life" feels like the final test
(Outro)
The weight… of forever…
The love I craved… just left me hollow…
(A final, echoing scream, followed by the sound of a closing door)
Still trapped… still trapped…
(Fade out with a distorted, single guitar note)
