[Verse 1]
You slammed doors
We learned to hold our breath
Counting cracks
On the ceiling above the bed
Mom’s makeup
Couldn’t cover every mark
We kept toys
In a bag by the car
Just in case
[Pre-Chorus]
You said I’d be nothing
You said I’d crawl back
You said I was crazy
Look who’s scared of the dark now (yeah)
[Chorus]
Porcelain to powder
See me crush your throne
Every word you threw at me
I’ve carved in stone
You built your little kingdom out of fear and fists
Watch me strike the match and vanish in the mist
You don’t get to own my body
Own my name
I walked through your hell
Now you burn in your own flame
I survived it
I survived you
And I’m the ruin you can’t undo (can’t undo)
[Verse 2]
You liked rage
Served cold across the plate
We ate shame
So the neighbors wouldn’t wake
You loved "mine"
On the papers and my skin
Now that chain
Is a rusted little ring in a drawer
[Pre-Chorus]
You said I was fragile
You said I would break
Funny how your kingdom
Was the only thing that shattered (hey)
[Chorus]
Porcelain to powder
See me crush your throne
Every word you threw at me
I’ve carved in stone
You built your little kingdom out of fear and fists
Watch me strike the match and vanish in the mist
You don’t get to own my body
Own my name
I walked through your hell
Now you burn in your own flame
I survived it
I survived you
And I’m the ruin you can’t undo
[Bridge]
This is for my mother
Hands shaking on the phone
This is for my brother
Hiding in his headphones
This is for that mirror
I stopped looking into
I break it to pieces
Each shard cutting through you (yeah)
[Chorus]
Porcelain to powder
See me crush your throne
Every bruise you painted turns to war paint on my bones
You built your little kingdom out of fear and fists
Now your crown is choking you in your own mist
You don’t get to own my story
Own my name
I walked out with all the love you tried to claim
I survived it
I survived you
And I’m the ruin you can’t undo (can’t undo)
