Lyrics:
Verse 1
Iridescent, celestial, divine
I forget sometimes, I don't know why
Got gun metal on my mind
Flowers in my high inked in black and white
Why even try?

Chorus
Baby I juxtapose with every pose
Think I'm stunting they don't know
I feel too small for my throne
Too small for my throne
When I lose all my control
All my friends they feel like foes
Too small for my throne
Too small for my throne

Verse 2
Wish I could see me through your eyes
If I did I'd be alright
Even with myself I play the fool
Can't trust your love, the mind is cruel
So cruel, what can I do?
What can I do?
What can't I do?

Chorus
Baby I juxtapose with every pose
Think I'm stunting they don't know
I feel too small for my throne
Too small for my throne
When I lose all my control
All my friends they feel like foes
Too small for my throne
Too small for my throne

Bridge
Throne (x2)
Unstable
Alone
Unstable
Alone
I've got secrets in my hair
Play pretend or disappear
