[Intro]

Yeah...

It's all empty now...


[Chorus]

This crown is hollow, gold but thin

A broken king is who I’ve been

Chasing ghosts in a cocaine haze

A palace built in sinking sand

I smile for you, a rehearsed art

But terror's whisper tears apart:

What's left behind this fucking mask?

Just hollow ground, a shattered past


[Verse 1]

I remember nights, the chemical shine

A temporary god, a borrowed design

The rush so loud it drowned the doubt

Now all the colors have bled out

The mirror shows a stranger’s face

Trapped in this cold, gilded space

Echoes of laughter, sharp and bright

Dissolve into the endless night

I clutch the throne, but feel the chill

A silent, growing, hungry nil


[Chorus]

This crown is hollow, gold but thin

A broken king is who I've been

Chasing ghosts in a cocaine haze

A palace built in sinking sand

I smile for you, a rehearsed art

But terror's whisper tears apart:

What's left behind this fucking mask?

Just hollow ground, a shattered past


[Outro]

Just hollow ground...

A shattered past...

...empty...
