[Verse]
I wear a crown but it cuts my skin
A throne of thorns that I’m drowning in
Heavy steps on this cracked terrain
Every move feels like dragging chains
I got a mask that I stitched real tight
Smiling wide but I lose the fight
Mirror cracks when I meet my eyes
Can’t admit I’m scared inside
[Chorus]
The weight of the world
It don’t ask
It just stays
I’m Atlas with pride but I’m lost in the haze
I carry the skies while I’m breaking apart
Heavy is the soul
Heavy is the heart
[Verse 2]
They say strong men don’t ever cry
So I swallow storms
Let the thunder lie
Brick by brick I’ve built these walls
But the cracks show up when the nightfall calls
I walk alone through a field of doubt
Screaming loud but the words don’t come out
Pride’s a leash
I can’t let go
Tied to a fight I don’t want to show
[Prechorus]
How do I ask for a hand to hold
When I’m the one supposed to be bold
