Palace of One

Verse 1

Dirt on my knuckles from the climb

Everything costs time

Paper chasing leaves a paper trail

I felt the weight of my soul on a scale

Heavy

It tipped towards the greed

Wanting what I didn't need

Cold concrete for a mattress

Success is just a bad actress

Chorus

Mirror on the wall doesn't recognize the face

Trying to find some grace in a crowded place

Maybe I want the crown

Maybe I want the peace

Maybe I want the truth to finally be released

Release it

Let it go

Release it

Verse 2

Skin against skin and I'm still hollow

Hard pill to swallow

Love is a phantom when you're hunting for a throne

Sleeping in a palace but I'm chilling all alone

Freezing

I missed your call twice

Paid a heavy price for advice

Thinking about the way your laughter used to sound

Now I'm just the king of some barren ground

Ghost town

Chorus

Mirror on the wall doesn't recognize the face

Trying to find some grace in a crowded place

Maybe I want the crown

Maybe I want the peace

Maybe I want the truth to finally be released

Release it

Let it go

Release it

Bridge

Tainted by the hunger

Driven by the desire

Burned by the fire

I see me

I judge me

I forgive me

Searching for the real in a hall of mirrors

Everything is getting clearer

Verse 3

No more masks in the morning light

Ready for the fight

Scraping off the gold leaf to find the wood

Doing what I should

Honesty

It's a lonely road but the view is wide

Nothing left to hide deep inside

Giving up the grab for the sake of the give

Learning how to actually live

Breathe in

Chorus

Mirror on the wall doesn't recognize the face

Trying to find some grace in a crowded place

Maybe I want the crown

Maybe I want the peace

Maybe I want the truth to finally be released

Release it

Let it go

Release it

Outro

Reflection

Deeper than the surface

Found a brand new purpose

No more chasing shadows

Just me

Just you

Just us
