[Verse 1]
Showed up late to the restaurant
Black shirt
Black thoughts
Same old me
They seated us by the window
You lit the room like a crime scene dream
You laugh
I count all my demons
One by one in the silverware shine
I hold the door like a gentleman
Still feel the heat from the fault lines
[Pre-Chorus]
You touch my hand
Sudden summer in my veins
Still I’m checking every shadow
Like they all know my name
[Chorus]
Hey baby
It’s Hades
Still king of the crazy
But you got me in a booth
Sipping water
Telling truth
Hey baby
It’s Hades
Heart’s heavy
Hands shaky
Got a throne made out of stone
But tonight you’re walking me home
[Verse 2]
Menus read like confessions
I circle everything I can’t say
You talk about your sister’s tattoos
I’m memorizing every face you make
You steal a fry
Call me “trouble”
I almost choke on the word “us”
You joke I’m dressed like a funeral
You don’t know I’m the one they trust
[Pre-Chorus]
You bite your lip
I feel kingdoms start to crack
Every ghost I’ve ever carried
Wants to crawl right off my back
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] I’ve been living with the curtains drawn
Building castles out of ash and wrong
Then you laugh
And the ceiling falls
I’m still ruler of the ruins
But I’m answering your calls
[spoken
Close] Yeah
I’m still that dark
Dangerous maybe
But look at me
Paying the bill
Playing nice
Trying hard to be your “baby”
[Chorus]
