[Verse 1]
Hands on the cracks in the wall
Tracing every scar I own
Candle in a cavern so small
Calling this darkness my throne
[Pre-Chorus]
Every fear I buried
Glows like gold in the ground
If I raise these ruins
Will you hear the sound?
[Chorus]
I’m a king out of the dark now
Building castles from the fallout
Put my banners on the black clouds
Watch me
Watch me
Turn the shadows into daylight
Every bruise becomes a birthright
From the ashes of the old life
Crown me
Crown me
I’m a king out of the dark
[Verse 2]
Bricks made of every closed door
Steps from the nights I broke down
Armor from the words I ignored
Heavy
But I wear it so proud
[Pre-Chorus]
Every fear I buried
Glows like gold in the ground
If I raise these ruins
Do you feel it now?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
I was lost in it
Lost in it
Till I started drawing maps on the ceiling
Now I live in it
Live in it
This empire of every hard feeling
[vocoder harmonies]
If the night comes back
Let it bow to me
[Chorus]
