[Verse 1]
I am a tyrant
Crown made of burn marks and code
Pulling your strings in the dark
You still walk into my throne
You call it madness
I call it keeping control
You kiss the ring on my hand
Like you don’t care what I stole
[Pre-Chorus]
Why do you stay
In my gravity
Every command
You just answer me
Teeth like a trap
Heart like a war
You touch the blade
And you still want more (hey!)
[Chorus]
I am a tyrant
You’re in my riot
Storm in my eyes and you keep running toward it
I break you open
You keep your silence
Big empty sky in my chest and you adore it
You should be running from this poison orbit
I am a tyrant
Yet you still return to worship it
[Verse 2]
I push you under
You rise up calling my name
Say I’m the chaos you crave
Like you can’t breathe in the sane
You wear my warning
Branded in silver and flame
Laugh as you walk through the fire
Like you’re addicted to pain
[Pre-Chorus]
Why do you stay
In my gravity
Every command
You just answer me
Hands on your throat
You still lean in
Praying for sin
Just to feel my skin (oh!)
[Chorus]
I am a tyrant
You’re in my riot
Storm in my eyes and you keep running toward it
I break you open
You keep your silence
Big empty sky in my chest and you adore it
You should be running from this poison orbit
I am a tyrant
Yet you still return to worship it
[Bridge]
Fall on your knees in the aftershock
Beg me to strike
Beg me to stop
Say you are chained
Say you are free
You only breathe when you’re under me
[Chorus]
I am a tyrant
You’re in my riot
Storm in my eyes and you keep running toward it
I break you open
You keep your silence
Big empty sky in my chest and you adore it
You should be running from this poison orbit
I am a tyrant
Yet you still return to worship it (yeah)
I am a tyrant
Yet you still come back and worship it
