Lyric

I learned early how weight feels

Names, faces, borrowed ideals

Every promise came with a chain

Every comfort sharpened the pain

I watched mirrors start to lie

Showed me ghosts I didn’t buy

If I want the crown of dust

I burn the bridge, I break the trust

Love is a language I forgot

Mercy is a skill I never got

If everything wants a piece of me

Then everything is my enemy

Cut away the world, let it fall

I don’t need your heaven at all

To win it all, I lose it all

No hands to hold when empires crawl

Cut away the world, feel it scream

I trade blood for a sharper dream

I stand alone, I choose the cold

I cut the world to own the throne

I trimmed the fear from my breath

Fed my doubt to something left

Friends turn soft when stakes turn high

I kept the blade, I let them cry

Hope is just a slower cage

Faith is debt across the age

I don’t kneel, I don’t pray

I carve tomorrow out of today

If love makes me hesitate

Then love is just another weight

I won’t be clean, I won’t be saved

I’ll be the thing you’re scared I’ll be

Cut away the world, let it burn

Every lesson I never learned

To win it all, I break the law

I don’t fear the aftermath

Cut away the world, hear it beg

I don’t bow, I step on necks

I stand alone, I choose the cold

I cut the world to own the throne

I am not cruel, I am precise

I am the answer paid in price

If all must fall so I can rise

Then let it fall, then close your eyes

No witnesses, no regrets

No tears left I haven’t spent

History loves the ones who dare

And forgets how they got there

Cut away the world, one last time

Every weakness left behind

I don’t need love, I don’t need truth

I need the end, I need the proof

Cut away the world, watch me stand

King of nothing, crown in hand

If winning means I lose my soul

Then cut it clean, I want it whole

Silence fits me better now

No one left to ask me how

I won everything I chose

By cutting everything I was
