Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Thirteen years of walking Soft around your rage Counting every heartbeat Like it was your wage You dressed up your terror Called it "being strong" But shaking in the shadows Was where you lived all along [Chorus] Look at you now King of nothing Sitting on a plastic throne All that talk All that thundering Couldn’t stand when we said "no" We walked out with our names back You’re a story we outgrew We were never yours to handle We were always more than you [Verse 2] You liked me small and sorry Liked us scared and still Thought control was loving Thought a cage was will But I stitched my scars in leather Pulled my boots on tight Turned every bruise you gave me To a map that led to light [Chorus] Look at you now King of nothing Sitting on a plastic throne All that talk All that thundering Couldn’t stand when we said "no" We walked out with our names back You’re a story we outgrew We were never yours to handle We were always more than you [Bridge] You called it love I call it leaving (mm-hmm) You called it "us" But you were the only one there I raise a glass To every night you’re not in To the peace in this room And the breath in this air (yeah) [Chorus] Look at you now King of nothing Sitting on a plastic throne All that noise All that posturing Crumbled when I took control We walked out with our fire back Left your shadow at the door You’re a chapter that is finished I’m the book that holds much more [Outro] So keep your crown of ashes Wear it on your own We tasted life without you And it tastes like coming home
