Royalty Exposed

So this is what it was

Gold on the tongue, dirt in the hands
Crowns built quick on borrowed plans
Smiles rehearsed, knives kept clean
Loyalty sold behind the scenes
Every promise dressed to impress
Truth kept quiet, buried in debt

Turns out the throne was hollow
Turns out the vows were too
Funny how forever
Ends when it's no use to you

Royalty exposed
No throne, no grace, no soul
All shine, no spine, no oath
Just masks that finally broke
Royalty exposed
Say it loud, let it show
You don't fall from power
You rot from it slow

Eyes that swore they'd never lie
Learned how to blink at the right time
Hands that held learned how to steal
Call it love till it gets real
Built an empire on fragile trust
Watched it crack, watched it rust

No crown survives inspection
No king survives the truth
Every lie keeps receipts
And tonight, they're due

Royalty exposed
No crown survives the close
All talk, no weight, no code
Just egos dressed in gold
Royalty exposed
No mercy owed
You don't lose the kingdom
You show what it's made of

This wasn't revenge
This was accounting
Every silence counted
Every choice remembered

Royalty exposed
No myth left to protect
Just pretty lies collapsing
Under unpaid respect
Royalty exposed
Say the quiet part out loud
This is what it looks like
When the crown comes down

Nothing personal
Just truth
