Verse 1
I wake up choking on the smoke of time,
Scars still whispering my name.
Heart of glass but battle-ready,
Angels fall when we play the game.
Under my skin a thousand choirs,
Every voice wants something more.
I was human once, I swear—
Now I’m knocking on another door.
Pre-Chorus
They say, “Run before you burn alive,”
But fire’s always felt like home.
Chorus
I wear the crown of shadows,
Forged in guilt and flame.
If the world condemns me,
It just taught me how to reign.
I dance with all my demons,
Call them brothers, call them me.
Between the heaven and the hellfire
I finally learned to be.
Verse 2
Mirrors lie when I scream back,
Show me monsters, not my face.
Every sin’s another lesson,
Regret don’t slow my pace.
I prayed for signs, I begged for truth,
But God went silent in the night.
So I took what still was breathing
And I turned it into might.
Pre-Chorus
If the light refuses my name,
I’ll be the dark that still remains.
Chorus
I wear the crown of shadows,
Forged in guilt and flame.
If the world condemns me,
It just taught me how to reign.
I dance with all my demons,
Call them brothers, call them me.
Between the heaven and the hellfire
I finally learned to be.
Bridge (half spoken / breakdown)
Call me broken, call me cursed,
I survived my own worst verse.
From the ashes, from the dirt,
No salvation ever worked.
(Scream)
I’M NOT PURE—
BUT I’M REAL.
Final Chorus
I wear the crown of shadows,
Heavy, but it’s mine to bear.
No savior, no throne above,
Just my will suspended there.
If I fall, I fall forward,
Devil’s hand still in my own.
I am more than all your fear—
I am fire with a throne.
Outro
Between the heaven and the hellfire
I swore I’d never bend:
Better king of my own darkness
Than an angel in the end.
