In the shadows where I fight
My head is screaming from pain tonight
You carved your way with cruel intent
With every smile you leave me bent
You've got your way
To make things
Go better for you
Just to step on my back
To get through
The top where you say
You belong in your throne
I opened my heart
And you turned it to stone
Thought I could trust you
In this dark game we play
But now I'm screaming
And living this fray
You take and you tear
Like it's all just a game
Watch your empire rise
While I'm taking the blame
Your laughter rings out
Like a haunting refrain
In the wreckage of dreams
I'm drowning in pain
You've got your way
To make things
Go better for you
Just to step on my back
To get through
The top where you say
You belong in your throne
I opened my heart
And you turned it to stone
Thought I could trust you
In this dark game we play
But now I'm screaming
And living this fray
You'll reap what you sow
In the fires you stoke
You've lost all that's sacred
With every cruel joke
I'll rise from these ashes
Take back what is mine
The pain will not break me
It's my time to shine
The top where you say
You belong in your throne
I opened my heart
And you turned it to stone
Thought I could trust you
In this dark game we play
But now I'm screaming
And living this fray
So take your false crowns
And your fabricated lies
I'm breaking these binds
As you watch from the skies
My head may be screaming
But I'll carry this fight
Rising from shadows
Into my own light
