Lyrics
Some fame, some lights, but my essence the same
With every note I own my pain, defy the sham
They say I'm high, lost in the star's glare, oh
But I'm rooted deep, real as the dirt I wear
[Pre-Chorus]
I've walked through fire, with my head held high, unashamed
Call me a liar, but I'm still the fire, still aflame, yeah
Oh, listen here (listen here)
I've climbed the charts, but I'm the same, yeah
I'm just a man, not just my fame, yeah
I've fought my fights, ain't no damn game, yeah
Scene's in my blood, but I'm not to blame, no
You can claw my ride, slash my name
Yeah, took the hits, stood in the hurricane
Raised my fist, echoed through the pouring rain
They don't know, don't know the hell I've slain
Still the beast, and I break every fucking chain
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you hear the rage, pumping through my veins, relentless
I'm the storm you fear, the scream that never wanes, I'm reckless
I wear the crown, not for the glory or throne
I wear my scars, proof of the road I've owned
They say I've changed, become a stranger in town
But I'm just wiser, harder, won't be taken down
[Chorus]
Fuck the lies, fuck the fame, still the same, unforgiven
Through the noise, I'm the voice, still my choice, I'm driven
Wear my ink, wear my tales, every mark's a testament
My voice roars, cuts through lies, my life's my own damn instrument
[Chorus]
So fuck their words, and fuck their eyes, I'm the storm, I'm the prize
Thunder loud, lightning strike, in my song, I'll always rise
Ripping chords, breaking bones, I'm the truth behind the lies
Heavy riffs, my war zone, with each yell, my spirit flies
Yeah, this fire, this drive, it's my war-painted skin
I've been baptized in chaos, lived through sonic sin
And it's true, I’ve made it, but inside I'm the same
Just a soul that's been tested, through the music's arcane
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm the beast, unchained, still wild, still raging
Let 'em talk their shit, my legacy they ain't fazing
I fought the shadows, dragged 'em out into light
Tattooed soul, with every battle and fight
They spit their venom, say
I've climbed the throne, with the ghosts of my scars
Yeah, I'm golden now, but I've been through wars
They don't see the nights, or the blood I've bled
Just the crown on my head, not the tears I've shed
[Verse]
You think I've sold my soul, for the lights, for the cheers?
I've traded sweat for my every fear
