Lyrics

I awaken in a war-torn dream, but silence grips the air A battlefield beneath my skull, no one's aware My smile, sewn tight like porcelain skin A puppet on strings where the chaos begins They call me strong I wear the crown of deceit But these songs I write bleed from wounds too deep Every "I'm fine" was a funeral hymn Whispered in shadows where hope runs thin Once the golden child, haloed in light Now I shatter the mirror in the dead of night Told them I'm okay, what a cruel masquerade A saint in performance, a soul that decays My greatest lie was painted bright Behind black lace and candlelight Smiles like daggers, cold and thin A gilded cage I'm locked within My greatest lie? "Just tired," I said But I was dancing with the walking dead Now I stare at stars that do not shine Confessing truth in haunted rhyme You're a shadow, a fraud in disguise What you need is to try, not cry Why moan when the world still spins? Others have worse, you wear phantom sins Silence I've borne this weight like a cross of lead Wore a crown of thorns just to feel less dead You don't see the nights I freeze in stone Or tears that fall like they're carved from bone I scream where angels fear to tread Bleed through verses I've never said My demons conduct with violins of pain While I dance on graves beneath the rain These aren't lyrics... They're confessions from a crypt I've been weary for years, not mere days Built a mask from ash and chapel haze The world applauds strength, not shattered glass So I played the martyr, let the sorrow pass But I'm done Done with choking back ghostly cries Done with silence dressed in silk lies Ask me now, I'll bleed the truth in rhyme My greatest lie wore no warning sign I was the victim, the stage, the play Lost my soul in the grand ballet But I found this voice, and I found my sky This isn't a son, it's a funeral cry My greatest lie was dressed in grace A fragile smile on a hollow face Built a fortress none could see And swallowed down the only key My greatest lie was "I'm still whole" While darkness swallowed piece by soul Now I howl where truth won't die A requiem sung to a broken sky I lied Not for want, but for survival And maybe Just maybe This truth Is my resurrection
