Temporary Crown

Title: Temporary Crown I wake up with a smile, feels light on my face Like I finally found a little bit of grace But it fades by the time the day gets loud Lost in my thoughts, tryna tune it all out I tell myself I’m good, yeah I should be okay Got love around me, they treat me like a king every day But in the quiet, when I’m left alone There’s a missing piece I can’t call my own Why it feel so real then slip away? Why can’t the sunshine ever stay? I chase the feeling, it won’t remain Like happiness is just a passing train I’m wearing a crown but it don’t feel right Smiling in gold but I’m losing the fight They say I got it all, I should be complete So why do I still feel incomplete? I’m happy… but it’s temporary Feels good, then it gets scary I keep asking, “Why can’t I stay?” Why happiness just fades away? Every night I’m diving deep in my mind Tryna understand what I can’t define Mirror talks back but it don’t explain Why I feel sunshine mixed with rain I replay moments, every word, every move Overthinking things I don’t need to prove I’m a man, they say I should stand tall But inside I still question it all Am I broken or just aware? Why do I feel something’s not there? I reach inside but I come up empty Like a part of me just won’t let me I’m wearing a crown but it don’t feel right Smiling in gold but I’m losing the fight They say I got it all, I should be complete So why do I still feel incomplete? I’m happy… but it’s temporary Feels good, then it gets scary I keep asking, “Why can’t I stay?” Why happiness just fades away? Maybe I’m still healing pieces unseen Maybe I’m chasing what happiness means Maybe that part of me I can’t find Is something I gotta build over time I’m learning myself in every scar Every question shows me who I am Maybe the answer ain’t far away Just growing into it day by day [Outro] So I’ll sit with the questions, let them breathe Even if I don’t like what I see ‘Cause maybe one day it’ll all make sense Why I felt whole and broken at once Still wearing this crown… still asking how To feel forever like I do right now…
