Crown of Smoke

Ooooh, I can see the fire starting now

Ooooh, never thought I’d burn this house

Your name was lightning, I should’ve run

But I was dancing barefoot, thinking it’s fun

Every word you spoke was a match on the floor

Now I’m standing in ashes, wanting more

You build me up like a castle in the clouds

But the walls came crashing down too loud

Thought I was safe in the kingdom we made

But the crown was just a masquerade

I knew you were trouble, but I still let you in

Now I’m picking up the pieces where the fire’s been

Can’t live in your castle, it was built on lies

So I’m breaking down the walls tonight

You called it love, I called it a war

Every battle left me needing more

Tried to wear your chains like a royal dress

But the throne was empty, nothing left

You build me up like a castle in the sky

But the lightning struck, and I know why

Every brick was painted in disguise

Now I see it with clearer eyes

I knew you were trouble, but I still let you in

Now I’m dancing in the rubble where your lies begin

Can’t live in your castle, it was built to fall

So I’m burning down the kingdom, once and for all

Ooooh, (you’re just a ghost in the ruins)

Ooooh, (I won’t be your crown’s illusion)

Ooooh, (I’ll raise my voice till it shakes the ground)

Watch me tear your kingdom down

I knew you were trouble, but I still let you in

Now I’m stronger than the fire, I can finally win

No castle can hold me, no crown to wear

I’m the queen of the ashes, and I don’t care

Ooooh, I don’t care

Ooooh, I don’t care
