[Intro]
Fallen faces
Feathers in the gutter, faith in phases
Halo cracked
Heaven lookin’ like it turned its back (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Walked out the fire with smoke on my tongue
Fang in my smile, still call me the son
God on my line, talkin’ “what have you done?”
I answer in thunder, I don’t ever run
Ash on my shoulders, dust on my name
Hand in the flame, I been playin’ with blame
Desire like a dagger I tuck in my waist
Every little wish got a consequence taste
Gates in the ground start glowin’ blood red
Shadows get loud, start speakin’ in my head
Demons in the hallway laughin’ at the law
Writing out a contract on the side of my jaw (woah)
[Chorus]
Fallen angels, I been flyin’ crooked
God’s judgment on me, yeah, I feel ’em lookin’
Out the ruin like a phoenix when I rise
Ashes on my wings, fire in my eyes (hey!)
Lotus from the mud, watch the stem climb higher
Sprout through the stone, I grew out the fire
If hell got a gate, I’ll kick it off the hinge
Cuz I’m built from the smoke and I’m born to begin
[Verse 2]
Sand in my veins like I came from a tomb
Gold on my neck, whole past in the room
Old kings speak from the cracks in the wall
Tell me, “wear the curse like a robe when you fall”
Step in the circle, I hear ancient drums
Dance of a tribe where the wild truth comes
Paint on my skin like a map to the stars
Every little line trace trauma and scars
Phantoms at the table, tryna eat my hope
Forks in my back, they mistook me for dope
I inhale pain, exhale it in smoke
Turn another nightmare to another quote (yeah)
River in my chest, that’s water and rage
Wind in my breath tryna tear up the page
Stone in my focus, I’m breakin’ the cage
Fire in my faith, watch the whole world blaze
[Chorus]
Fallen angels, I been flyin’ crooked
God’s judgment on me, yeah, I feel ’em lookin’
Out the ruin like a phoenix when I rise
Ashes on my wings, fire in my eyes (fire)
Lotus from the mud, watch the stem climb higher
Sprout through the stone, I grew out the fire
If hell got a gate, I’ll kick it off the hinge
Cuz I’m built from the smoke and I’m born to begin
[Bridge]
From the pit to the pyramids, infinite climb
Every step like a lifetime, rewritin’ the crime
If the sky turn black and the ground start to split
I’ma bloom in the middle, that’s the end of it (yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Fallen angels, I been flyin’ crooked
God’s judgment on me, yeah, I feel ’em lookin’
Out the ruin like a phoenix when I rise
Ashes on my wings, fire in my eyes (woah)
Lotus from the mud, watch the stem climb higher
Sprout through the stone, I grew out the fire
If hell got a gate, I’ll kick it off the hinge
Cuz I’m built from the smoke and I’m born to begin (begin)
