Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You wear your anger
Like a hand-me-down coat
Frayed at the edges
Smelling of smoke
Tell me the story
You never could tell
Why every small kindness
Feels like a threat you repel
[Chorus]
You say you’re fine with that hollow crown
Built from the words that dragged you down
Holding your breath so you never drown
In the silence you carry around
If pain is the kingdom
You won the throne
But it’s so cold
Ruling alone
[Verse 2]
You carve your promise
On the back of your hand
Ink in the fissures
Where you used to stand
You stare at the ceiling
Like it’s staring back
Counting the cracks
Keeping your past intact
[Chorus]
You say you’re fine with that hollow crown
Built from the words that dragged you down
Holding your breath so you never drown
In the silence you carry around
If pain is the kingdom
You won the throne
But it’s so cold
Ruling alone
[Bridge]
What if the armor
Was just heavy skin
What if forgiveness
Is how wars begin to end (oh)
You could set fire
To that empty throne
Walk from the ashes
And finally go home
[Chorus]
You say you’re done with that hollow crown
Done with the ghosts that held you down
Learning to breathe
You won’t let yourself drown
In the silence you carried around
If pain was the kingdom
You leave the throne
It’s still so strange
Not being alone

Style
Brooding alt-pop ballad, male vocals. Close-miked voice over sparse piano and distant, filtered drums, gradually adding moody pads and low strings. Verses stay intimate and conversational; chorus swells with layered harmonies, subtle sub-bass, and echoing backing vocals. Final hook drops most instruments for a raw, exposed ending.
