Текст песни
I see you sitting on your throne of gold
The king of everything that can be sold
You wear the silence like a heavy crown
The richest man in this whole haunted town
Your empire is towering and vast
A monument to futures that have passed
But I know that look, I know the cost
The hunted eyes of someone who is lost
You think the world can't see the cracks
But I see them from across the tracks
We're strangers here, and yet I know
The higher up, the further down you go
Pretty, fast, lonely — you're just like me
Beggar in a palace, king of misery
You bought the dream, but the dream won't hold
You're a story that's already been told
Pretty, fast, lonely — I see your soul
Running from the emptiness that makes you whole
You can keep your castles, keep your gold
But a heart that's starving can't be bought or sold
You built a fortress out of fear and pride
But even kings need somewhere safe to hide
I'm not your savior, not your fantasy
Just a girl who recognizes what I see
We share the same wound, the same disease
The desperate hunger for a little peace
So don't pretend you're fine, don't act so tall
I see the beggar, and I see it all
You think the world can't see the cracks
But I see them from across the tracks
We're strangers here, and yet I know
The higher up, the further down you go
Pretty, fast, lonely — you're just like me
Beggar in a palace, king of misery
You bought the dream, but the dream won't hold
You're a story that's already been told
Pretty, fast, lonely — I see your soul
Running from the emptiness that makes you whole
You can keep your castles, keep your gold
But a heart that's starving can't be bought or sold
And maybe we are two lost satellites
Spinning through the same dark nights
You with your power, me with my speed
Both just searching for a place to breathe
I don't want your kingdom, don't want your name
I just know the loneliness, I know the game
So here's my verdict, here's my stand
Take off the crown and take my hand
Pretty, fast, lonely — I'm just like you
Nothing left to lose, nothing left to prove
We bought the dream, but the dream won't hold
Let's rewrite the story that's already been told
Pretty, fast, lonely — I see your soul
Maybe emptiness can finally make us whole
Keep your castles, keep your gold
But a heart that's starving needs a hand to hold
Pretty, fast, lonely not anymore
