"I walk along these roads

I do it on my own 'cause I can not trust

Any one that's bold

Enough to walk with me 'cause I can not trust

These dudes and these women

I'm trying to live right

But somehow I end up sinnin

So it's best I walk alone

I walk along these roads

I do it on my own 'cause I can not trust

Verse 1

Heavy lies the head, I wear a crown made of brambles,

Each decision like a gamble, feel the weight, it's hard to handle.

Got my people lookin' up, but I'm lost in my own maze,

While I'm shinin 'in the light, they don't see the darker days.

Grit and glory, split the story, burdens on my shoulders,

Like a soldier on the frontlines, my heart is growin colder.

Sacrifices made, but the price is never clear,

Every cheer feels hollow when the pain is all I hear.

They see the throne, but they don't see the cracks,

Every move's a chess game, I'm just watchin' my own back.

Trust is hard to find, like a needle in the hay,

When your circle's full of snakes, best believe that they'll betray.

I'm the architect of dreams, but the blueprints are torn,

With the echoes of my doubts, I'm just tryin' to stay warm.

In the silence of the night, I replay every sin,

Wonderin' if redemption is a battle I can win.

Chorus

I walk along these roads

I do it on my own 'cause I can not trust

Any one that's bold

Enough to walk with me 'cause I can not trust

These dudes and these women

I'm trying to live right

But somehow I end up sinnin

So it's best I walk alone

I walk along these roads

I do it on my own 'cause I can not trust

Verse 2

Feelin' like a martyr, with every step I take in pain,

Every choice I make,

I feel it coursing through my veins.

Now I'm countin 'all the losses, I add 'em up like debts,

These burdens weigh heavy like the sun on my regrets.

If Leaderships a prison, I'm the warden with the keys,

But the freedom that I seek feels like a phantom in the breeze.

Dark shadows lurk, whisperin' doubt inside my mind,

Gotta keep my head high so I can leave the past behind.

I'm the voice for the voiceless but the silence echoes loud,

Through the nights of restless dreams I'm just lost out in the crowd.

But this crown comes with thorns piercin 'deep into my soul,

Yet I'm fightin 'for the future, every sacrifice my goal.

So I rise from the ashes, like a phoenix in the night,

With the weight of the world, I still shine my own light.

I'm the lighthouse in the storm, guiding ships through the mist,

But the cost of this journey is a burden I can't resist.

Chorus

I walk along these roads

I do it on my own 'cause I can not trust

Any one that's bold

Enough to walk with me 'cause I can not trust

These dudes and these women

I'm trying to live right

But somehow I end up sinnin

So it's best I walk alone

I walk along these roads

I do it on my own 'cause I can not trust"
