[Instrumental Intro- Think haunting melody with electric guitar and drums]
(Verse 1)
Born under a crooked star
Different rhythm in my beating heart
Never fit the mold, never felt at ease
Always on the outside, searching for the breeze
(Pre-Chorus 1)
They threw me in the fire, said I'd burn and break
But the flames only forged a stronger make
Scars and calluses, a map of all I've known
This fire in my soul, will never implode
(Chorus)
I am the exception, the one you overlook
The thorn that pricks your finger
I am the outlier, the one in one million
The ghost on the wall, the you'll never see
I Am
I Am
Golden
(Verse 2)
They built their golden cages, lined with expectations high
But I tore through the bars, with a fire in my eye
Scorned and ostracized, the black sheep of the fold
But I'd rather chase the shadows than shimmer in the gold
(Pre-Chorus 2)
Let them call me crazy, let them doubt and sneer
Their whispers are like ashes, fading in my ear
This burning indignation, a fuel that keeps me strong
I'll break their fucking skulls, I Am the one.
(Chorus)
I am the exception, the one you overlook
The thorn that pricks your finger
I am the outlier, the one in one million
The ghost on the wall, the you'll never see
I Am
I Am
Golden
[Guitar solo]
(Bridge)
Don't mistake my anger for a desperate plea
I don't need your validation, I'm already free
This fire in my belly, a symphony of might
I'll blaze my own fucking trail, and burn into the nights sky.
(Chorus)
I am the exception, the one you overlook
The thorn that pricks your finger
I am the outlier, the one in one million
The ghost on the wall, the you'll never see
I Am
I Am
Golden
(Outro)
