[Intro]
[Feedback swelling
Drums count in
Riff slams]
[Verse 1]
Tiny throne
Plastic ring
You talk big
You change nothing
Cheap words
Thrown like stones
Run your mouth
Still scared alone
You point
You pose
You brag
You boast
Fragile pride
Like broken glass
Cutting you the most
[Chorus]
Paper-crown kings
Throwing fits like children
Screaming at the sky
‘Cause you don’t get your way
Paper-crown kings
So loud and so little
All bark
No bite
Just noise and cliché (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Short fuse
Thin skin
You play tough
You cave in
Start fights
Then flee
Blame the world
Say “it’s not me”
You laugh at
Every dream
Call it soft
Call it weak
But deep down
You just fear
What you’ll never be
[Chorus]
Paper-crown kings
Throwing fits like children
Screaming at the sky
‘Cause you don’t get your way
Paper-crown kings
So loud and so little
All bark
No bite
Just noise and cliché
[Bridge]
Grow up
Or burn out
Choose now
Or fade out
Your sandbox throne
Is sinking in the rain
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo 1 – chaotic shred over chugging riff]
[Chorus]
Paper-crown kings
Throwing fits like children
Screaming at the sky
‘Cause you don’t get your way (get your way)
Paper-crown kings
So loud and so little
All bark
No bite
Just noise and cliché
[Outro]
Rip those crowns
Tear the mask
Time runs fast
You can’t turn it back
Laugh now
Child
While the spotlight stings
[Guitar Solo 2 – melodic lead into dive-bomb chaos
Band hits final unison choke]
