Crossroads
Trapped at Crossroads: Unveiling the Battle Within
Lyrics
I put myself on a pedestal
The speaker elevated themselves.
Fought my way to the top
They struggled to reach success.
Took the road too traveled
Chose the commonly chosen path.
Guess that's my own fault
They accept responsibility for this decision.
Now, I wear the crown
They now have authority or power.
Got the hell outta town
Left their past behind.
But my head is too heavy, heart locked with no key
Feeling burdened mentally and emotionally.
And I can't go back, not even in my dreams
Unable to undo the past, even in dreams.
Oh, I'm trapped at a crossroads
Stuck in a critical decision point.
And I can barely breathe
Feeling suffocated or constrained.
I was the one who held the knife
They caused harm to themselves.
But the wound's too damn deep
The damage they caused is severe.
I made a deal with, I made a deal with the devil
Made a morally questionable pact.
How selfish could I be?
Recognizing their own selfishness.
Thought I was special, think I am special
Believed in their uniqueness, but they were mistaken.
But the devil, the devil was me
They embody the negative force within themselves.
I needed the control
Desired command or influence.
Was just lost in the crowd
Lost their identity in a crowd.
Built myself a castle
Created their own world, but it lacks acknowledgment.
No one bothered to bow
Others didn't show respect or recognition.
Still, I wear the crown
Despite circumstances, they still hold power.
Got the hell outta town
Left their origins behind.
But my head is too heavy, heart locked with no key
Feel mentally and emotionally burdened.
And I can't go back, not even in my dreams
Cannot rectify past actions, even in dreams.
Oh, I'm trapped at a crossroads
At a critical decision point with no escape.
And I can barely breathe
Feeling extremely constricted or trapped.
I was the one who held the knife
They inflicted harm upon themselves.
But the wound's too damn deep
The consequences are profound.
I made a deal with, I made a deal with the devil
Engaged in a morally questionable agreement.
How selfish could I be?
Recognizing their own self-centeredness.
Thought I was special, think I am special
Believed in their uniqueness, yet they were wrong.
But the devil, the devil was me
They embody the negative force within themselves.
Why make an oath
Questioning the value of a promise if corrupted.
If the blood's just tainted?
Doubting the purity of their commitment.
Why take this path
Why choose a path if destiny is predetermined?
If the other one's fated?
Feeling incapable of genuine love, filled with negativity.
I thought I could love
Thought they could love, but are consumed by hatred.
But I'm filled with hatred
They made a wrong decision, and there's no alternative now.
I took a wrong turn
The other option is no longer visible or viable.
But the other road's faded
Feeling trapped in a pivotal moment.
Oh, I'm trapped at a crossroads
Stuck at a critical decision point, struggling.
And I can barely breathe
Feeling severely restricted or confined.
I was the one who held the knife
They caused harm to themselves.
But the wound's too damn deep
The damage they caused is severe.
I made a deal with, I made a deal with the devil
Engaged in a morally questionable agreement.
How selfish could I be?
Recognizing their own self-centeredness.
I made a deal and, and I'm so sorry
Expressing regret for their actions.
But the devil, the devil was me
They embody the negative force within themselves.
