[Intro – low, whispered]
Yeah… I wore the crown of failure,
But I ain’t kneeling anymore.
[Verse 1]
Shattered glass where my throne once stood,
Buried in rubble, drowning in should.
I wore my mistakes like rust on my skin,
Every loss etched deep, carved from within.
The mirror shows cracks, a king in decay,
But broken don’t mean I just fade away.
[Pre-Chorus]
You can laugh at the ruins, spit at my fall,
But I’ll crawl from the ashes, I’ll tear down the wall.
[Chorus]
My crown is cracked, my throne is gone,
But I still breathe, I still hold strong.
You can’t erase the scars I own,
I rise again with a broken crown.
[Verse 2]
The vultures circled, waiting to feed,
Praying I’d choke on the blood I bleed.
But failure’s a teacher, sharp and cold,
Every scar a weapon, every bruise is gold.
I won’t bow to ghosts, I won’t kneel to shame,
I’ll carve my rebirth from the wreckage and flame.
[Pre-Chorus]
You can laugh at the ruins, spit at my fall,
But I’ll crawl from the ashes, I’ll tear down the wall.
[Chorus]
My crown is cracked, my throne is gone,
But I still breathe, I still hold strong.
You can’t erase the scars I own,
I rise again with a broken crown.
[Bridge – screamed / distorted]
Let the weight press down, let the world collide,
I’ll drag my demons to the other side.
Broken doesn’t mean I’ve lost the fight,
It means I learned to bleed and still ignite.
[Final Chorus – soaring, defiant]
My crown is cracked, my throne is gone,
But I still breathe, I still hold strong.
You can’t erase the scars I own,
I rise again… with a broken crown.
[Outro – soft, echoing]
Yeah… broken crown… but I still stand.
