Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I built my walls out of midnight Every brick a broken vow Thrones made out of old mistakes Yeah I’m wearing them now Cold crown on a hot head Eyes cut through the smoke I learned to dance with the danger Turn every wound into a joke [Chorus] In my empire of darkness and shadows I’m the one lighting all of the halos I take the pain Twist it into gold Watch me rule what I can’t control From the ruins of every tomorrow I rise up Make a kingdom of sorrow In my empire of darkness and shadows I finally feel whole [Verse 2] I keep my fears in the ballroom Spinning in a glass-eyed stare Ghosts lined up along the ceiling All of them still right there I drink the storm like a secret Let the thunder fill my lungs If you’re looking for the sunlight Baby I ate every one [Chorus] In my empire of darkness and shadows I’m the one lighting all of the halos I take the pain Twist it into gold Watch me rule what I can’t control From the ruins of every tomorrow I rise up Make a kingdom of sorrow In my empire of darkness and shadows I finally feel whole [Bridge] Who said the night can’t save you? Who said the black can’t shine? I found a heart in the ashes Turns out the heart was mine (oh) I wear the storm like armor I wear the hurt like flame If this is cursed Then bless me I’ll sign it with my name (yeah) [Chorus] In my empire of darkness and shadows I’m the one lighting all of the halos I take the pain Twist it into gold Watch me rule what I can’t control From the ruins of every tomorrow I rise up Make a kingdom of sorrow In my empire of darkness and shadows I finally feel whole

rock, Female vocals over hybrid electro-pop rock: pulsing synth bass, tight electronic drums, and gritty overdriven guitars on the chorus. Verses stay simmering with arpeggiated keys and close, intimate vocal; chorus explodes with stacked harmonies, big hits, and a soaring top-line. Bridge strips to filtered synth and vocal before a final, full-band climax with extra ad-libs and a hard stop on the last word., pop rock, pop, electro
