[Verse 1]
Used to hold doors open
Now I kick them off the frame
Used to calm the storm in you
Now I answer only flame
You taught me every weakness
Then you twisted it for fun
I gave you all my open hands
You filled them up with loaded guns
[Chorus]
Now I’m the knife in the throne room
I’m the ghost that you can’t face
All of my bridges are burning behind me
I walk through the smoke in your place
You made the villain you prayed I’d never become
You raised the hate in my veins
This is the sound of a kind man dying
This is your kingdom in chains (hey)
[Verse 2]
Every promise, poisoned
Every “love you” had a price
You carved your name across my back
Then called the bleeding sacrifice
I begged for something honest
You smiled, and pulled the cord
Now every heartbeat in my chest
Marches like a vengeful horde
[Chorus]
Now I’m the knife in the throne room
I’m the ghost that you can’t face
All of my bridges are burning behind me
I walk through the smoke in your place
You made the villain you prayed I’d never become
You raised the hate in my veins
This is the sound of a kind man dying
This is your kingdom in chains (oh)
[Bridge]
Don’t say my name
You lost that right
I broke that halo
In your light
If I’m the monster
You designed
Then every scar
Is my new crown tonight
[Chorus]
Now I’m the knife in the throne room
I’m the ghost that you can’t face
All of my bridges are burning behind me
I walk through the smoke in your place
You made the villain you prayed I’d never become
You raised the hate in my veins
This is the roar of a gentle soul shattered
This is your kingdom in flames
