Jagged Crown Ghosts

Fading light in empty rooms Shadows pull me under Under soon Nights I wake with fists clenched tight Ghosts of hands that held me down Every breath a jagged fight Memories carved into my crown Skin still burns where anger struck walls Struck walls I built begin to crack Hiding scars that never locked out From chains that dragged me back Heart is pounding, lungs on fire Can't escape the weight inside Screaming silent, climbing higher But the darkness won't subside This pain is mine, it rips me raw Bleeding out the hurt I saw Trauma twists my every thought Tearing through the lies I bought I'm breaking out Now I'm screaming loud No more hiding in the crowd Feel it shatter, let it pour Personal hell I can't ignore Days dissolve in hollow stares Friends fade like smoke and rain Turn to nightmares, heller dares Tights tight this endless chain Voices echo in my skull Twisting truth to bitter lies Lost the boy I used to pull From the wreckage of goodbyes Heart is pounding, lungs on fire Can't escape the weight inside Screaming silent, climbing higher But the darkness won't subside This pain is mine, it rips me raw Bleeding out the hurt I saw Trauma twists my every thought Tearing through the lies I bought I'm breaking out, I'm screaming loud No more hiding in the crowd Feel it shatter, let it pour Personal hell I can't ignore One more step, I face the storm Rip the roots that choke my core Just reform, rise from ashes, yes Beg no more, let it rage, let it go Let it consume, then release it to the gloom This pain is mine, it rips me raw Bleeding out the hurt I saw Trauma twists my every thought Tearing through the lies I bought I'm breaking out, I'm screaming loud No more hiding in the crowd Feel it shatter, let it pour Personal hell, forevermore Fading light, but I stand tall Shattered in the dark Mantles break, I won't fall
