Descended Into Madness

[Verse 1]
Teeth in the mirror
Cracks in my grin
I carved every error
Straight into my skin
Shadows keep talking
Using my voice
Hands won’t stop shaking
I made this choice (I made this choice)
[Chorus]
I’m descended into madness
Crawling down my own spine
Every halo turns to iron
Every prayer a warning sign
I am crowned in burning ashes
Dragging nails through the divine
I’m descended into madness
And this hell is mine
[Verse 2]
Walls getting closer
Paint starts to breathe
Laugh at the terror
Stitched into my sleeve
Lipstick like bruises
Smile like a crack
I married the darkness
It’s never giving me back (never giving me back)
[Chorus]
I’m descended into madness
Crawling down my own spine
Every halo turns to iron
Every prayer a warning sign
I am crowned in burning ashes
Dragging nails through the divine
I’m descended into madness
And this hell is mine
[Bridge]
Tie my heart to the rafters
Let it swing
Let it swing (hey!)
Hear the choir of my fractures
Let them sing
Let them sing
Kiss the fear on my forehead
Call it home
Call it home
Build a throne out of torment
I will sit here alone
[Chorus]
I’m descended into madness
Crawling down my own spine
Every halo turns to iron
Every prayer a warning sign
I am crowned in burning ashes
Dragging nails through the divine
I’m descended into madness
And this hell is mine (this hell is mine)
