crowned in chains – •one• lyrics
•from behind the gl-ss•
•one•
•today i drop the first alb-m on them
i hope it hits their heads and resonates
maybe it should sting a little
maybe i’ll need to cope with hate
but who knows
maybe the whole thing blows
maybe they love it and i never take a punch to the nose
maybe the peasantry fans the fire and then it explodes
maybe the king is k!lled and life is lived without fear of thrones
who knows?
there’s pressure to deliver
there’s fresher compet-tion
there’s wishing i was living
loving, leaving something better
there’s pressure to deliver
there’s fresher compet-tion
there’s wishing i was living
loving, leaving something better
today i drop the whole story on them
i hope it leaves a bruise that sticks, forever stays
maybe my words should stab and sting a little
maybe they’ll never look at me the same
but who knows
maybe the whole thing fails
maybe i really am what track •one• says
maybe i should bail
the fans might listen and stop fanning the fire
maybe they’ll say i’m a liar, say i didn’t paint the picture honest when i chose to inquire
up in their dms but they’re disappointed
thought i’d inspire
maybe i am nothing more than a sad kid expressing what n-body else would want to listen to, or even start to admire
to even read off a flier
to even skim the tracks and criticize will make their ears tired and expire and sleep through the entire
thing
but who knows?
there’s pressure to deliver
there’s fresher compet-tion
there’s wishing i was living
loving, leaving something better
there’s pressure to deliver
there’s fresher compet-tion
there’s wishing i was living
loving, leaving something better
now it’s two nights after
my head is just spinning faster
they showed up
the peasantry revolted and they k!lled the master
they put their “kings” in their graves
the pressure’s leaving my brain
they said they love the record
•wait until they see the nest phase•
i went from fear to freedom
expectations, didn’t think i’d meet ’em
but they told me every song was laced in heat, i’m
tied between soaking in the moment and
breaking the gl-ss to reach for our next release
…but slow down
•ks• isn’t over
they don’t know what’s coming
herrera’s cooking up something colder
something slower
something to take them deeper into my head
and then the pressure seeps back in and my hand grips my notebook and pen
once again
there’s pressure to deliver
there’s fresher compet-tion
there’s wishing i was living
loving, leaving something better
there’s pressure to deliver
there’s fresher compet-tion
there’s wishing i was living
loving, leaving something better
