Crown of Smoke by FrancoTheBeast - Zona

Lyrics

Verse 1

Neon tears on the bathroom floor

Mirrors lie, but I ask for more

Silhouettes in my hollow chest

I make a home where the ghosts all rest

Whispers crawl through the wires in my head

Every truth I buried still breathes instead

I wear my scars like diamonds at night

Broken halos, learning how to fight

Pre-Chorus

I learned to dance with the doubt in my veins

Hold my breath in the middle of pain

If I’m falling, I’m falling loud

Watch me rise from the underground

Chorus

I wear a crown of smoke and fire

Built from fear and my desire

I’m not holy, I’m not clean

But I’m everything you’ve never seen

When the dark comes calling my name

I don’t run, I step into flames

I’m fragile, fierce, both hope and choke

Queen of shadows, crown of smoke

Verse 2

Heartbeat syncs with a low-end hum

City sleeps, but my war’s not done

Every promise I almost kept

Still burns inside every breath I left

Love tastes sweet, then it turns to rust

Trust cracks slow, but I still trust us

I’ve been lost in the static rain

Still I scream through the hurricane

Pre-Chorus

I learned to bleed without breaking skin

Turn my sins into oxygen

If I shatter, I shatter proud

Hear my echo shake the ground

Chorus

I wear a crown of smoke and fire

Built from fear and my desire

I’m not holy, I’m not clean

But I’m everything you’ve never seen

When the dark comes calling my name

I don’t run, I step into flames

I’m fragile, fierce, both hope and choke

Queen of shadows, crown of smoke

Bridge (Atmospheric / Half-Time Drop)

Say my name in the dead of night

I’m the spark in the blackout sky

If I fall, I fall upward now

From the ashes, hear me shout

Final Chorus (Anthemic, Full Production)

I wear a crown of smoke and fire

Every wound turned into wire

I’m still breathing, still obscene

Still the girl in your wildest dreams

Let the dark keep testing my faith

I was born for the wide escape

I’m fragile, fierce, unbroken hope

Long live the queen with a crown of smoke

Outro

Smoke in my lungs, light in my throat

I rule the night I barely survived

Crown of smoke…

Still alive.
