Verse 1 :
The crown they gave me is heavy with lies,
A throne of silence where a child dies.
I walk through fire just to prove I belong,
But duty keeps chaining the soul of my song.
---
Pre-Chorus 1:
Ooooh… their voices echo, sharp as a blade,
Mmm… I crumble beneath the life they made.
---
Chorus [Climax]:
I’m a prisoner bound to a fate not my own,
Carrying dreams carved deep into stone.
Every step forward just drags me along,
Hmmm… I’m cursed by the weight I’ve carried too long.
---
Verse 2:
Their hopes are anchors tied tight to my skin,
I break on the surface, but hide it within.
A smile on my lips, but my spirit is torn,
Living for them since the day I was born.
---
Pre-Chorus 2:
Ooooh… I’m drowning in shadows I can’t confess,
Mmm… a son in the chains of endless duress.
---
Chorus [Climax]:
I’m a prisoner bound to a fate not my own,
Carrying dreams carved deep into stone.
Every step forward just drags me along,
Hmmm… I’m cursed by the weight I’ve carried too long.
I scream in the silence they’ll never hear,
Trapped in the role they forced me to steer.
If this is my life, then I’ll burn where I stand,
Hmmm… the curse of their love I’ll never withstand.
---
Bridge:
Their crowns are thorns that pierce through my skin,
No victory’s worth the battle I’m in.
I dream of freedom, a life of my own,
But duty won’t let me walk alone.
---
Outro:
I lay down the weight I can’t survive,
A hollow son who’s barely alive.
The chains dissolve in a whispered song,
Maybe the curse won’t last so long.
Oooh… will I ever belong?
Hmm… will I ever be strong?
