[Verse 1]
I was praying to a ceiling that never blinked
Talking to the walls till my voice went thin
Pill bottles on the dresser like little white sins
Face in the mirror just a rumor of skin
Cut wrists from the words that they carved in my head
"You're nothing, you're nothing" on repeat in my chest
I begged for a light
Got silence instead
So I started listening to the voices I was taught to suppress (yeah)
[Chorus]
I fed the demons till they sang like a choir
Let the pain preach, let it lift me higher
I gave my hate a halo made of barbed-wire faith
I was dying in the dark till I married my rage
I fed the demons, they were all that I had
Turned every heartbreak into fuel for the wrath
If heaven never wanted me, that's okay
I'll build a throne from all the hurt and stay (hey)
[Verse 2]
Every "I love you" turned to rust in my mouth
Every promise was a bullet, now I'm spitting them out
You buried me alive in that quiet little house
Now I'm digging with my teeth just to tear my way out
Thought I needed saving, I was begging for a hand
But the only thing that answered was the hunger in the sand
So I kissed my scars
Swore I'd never kneel again
Pulled my broken halo down and twisted it into a crown (crown)
[Chorus]
I fed the demons till they sang like a choir
Let the pain preach, let it lift me higher
I gave my hate a halo made of barbed-wire faith
I was dying in the dark till I married my rage
I fed the demons, they were all that I had
Turned every heartbreak into fuel for the wrath
If heaven never wanted me, that's okay
I'll build a throne from all the hurt and stay (oh yeah)
[Bridge]
(Ah)
Choir in my chest screaming "let him fall"
I was on my knees, now I own this hall
Every cruel word, every laugh they gave
Is a match in my mouth, watch me burn their graves
(Ah)
I don't want peace, I want pressure, I want flame
Want the echo of my anger to erase their names
If love is just a weapon that you hide in a kiss
Then I'll wrap my arms around the darkness like this (like this)
[Chorus]
I fed the demons till they sang like a choir
Let the pain preach, let it lift me higher
I gave my hate a halo made of barbed-wire faith
I was dying in the dark till I married my rage
I fed the demons, they were all that I had
Turned every heartbreak into fuel for the wrath
If heaven never wanted me, that's okay
I’ll make my hell my home
And I’ll never fade away (yeah)
