ROYAL SCAM

Smile.

Sign.

Repeat.

Congratulations — you’re replaceable.

Velvet words, metallic lies

They toast my tears in crystal wine

Every yes erases me

Every no kills the fantasy

They sell my breath, I fake the role

Call it art, call it control

Fairy dust inside my lungs

Choking on their holy fun

Say my name, then steal my face

Clone my voice, delete my pain

Love me when I cross the line

Break me when I shine too bright

Royal scam, gold disease

Kiss the ring, learn to bleed

Build me up, tear me down

Spin my fear into a sound

Royal scam, velvet crime

Pretty jail in perfect rhyme

They don’t care, they just count

Bow down to this royal scam

( royal scam… )

[ad-libs] ( scam… scam… )

Luxury wrapped in threat

Perfume mixed with cigarettes

Every step déjà vu

They don’t dream, they just consume

Pretty wars behind the scenes

Smiles sharp like guillotines

If I stall, they hit rewind

Swap my soul for newer minds

Say I’m rare, then make me cheap

Promise heaven, sell me sleep

If I fall, don’t call my name

Just upload a better frame

Royal scam, gold disease

Kiss the ring, learn to bleed

Build me up, tear me down

Spin my fear into a sound

Royal scam, velvet crime

Pretty jail in perfect rhyme

They don’t care, they just count

Bow down to this royal scam

Diamond leash, platinum cage

They rent my youth, I charge my rage

Stream my sins, monetize

Watch them feast on my disguise

Turn my trauma into trend

Call it art, then call it friends

Try to own my body, soul

I burn holes inside their mold

Pretty doll, savage mind

Raised on noise and lullabies

I’m the glitch inside their plan

Watch me crash their wonderland

( soft, fragile, intimate )

I don’t wanna be their dream

I don’t wanna wear their crown

I just wanna breathe again

With my feet still on the ground

( breathe again… breathe again… )

Royal scam, let it fall

I won’t play this game at all

Take your throne, take your fame

I keep my soul, I keep my name

Royal scam, broken crown

Now I rule myself, no bounds

No more dolls, no more sound

I break free from royal scams

They sell fairy tales.

We survive the aftermath.
