Kye Twilight - Bitter Saints Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Blood ties don't mean shit when they're made of barbed wire
Heritage like a noose, yeah, I'm setting it on fire
Father said I'm a disgrace, but I wear it like a crown
Middle Eastern strings playing while I burn this whole shit down
Caught between two worlds, but I don't belong in either
Cultural purity's a joke, I'm the f*cking non-believer

[Chorus]
They want me dead for what I create
Venues closing doors, but I won't hesitate
Screaming through the pain of a broken bloodline
F*ck your traditions, I'm crossing every line
Every threat you send just makes me stronger
I don't need your approval any longer

[Verse 2]
You weaponized my silence, so I weaponized my voice
Trapped in your expectations, but I made a different choice
Your prayers echo empty in these tattooed temple walls
While I build my own kingdom from the ashes of it all
Death threats in my inbox, family won't speak my name
But I found freedom in the moment that I embraced the shame

[Bridge]
Disconnect, disown, watch me rise alone
Built my throne from broken promises and splintered bones
Cultural betrayal never felt so sweet
The rhythm of rejection is my heartbeat

[Chorus]
They want me dead for what I create
Venues closing doors, but I won't hesitate
Screaming through the pain of a broken bloodline
F*ck your traditions, I'm crossing every line
Every threat you send just makes me stronger
I don't need your approval any longer

[Outro]
Let the strings play my funeral march
While I dance on the graves of your expectations
Blood ties burn like paper in the dark
This is my liberation, my damnation
