Crimson Crown

[Verse 1]
You were candlewax and thunder
Smudged eyeliner
Iron rings
Reading verses in the corner
Like you could hex your own wings
Silver cross against your leather
Wine-stained lips that said my name
Laughing in the graveyard weather
Daring every ghost to stay
[Chorus]
Be my crimson crown
On a kingdom built from ashes
Take my ruins
Burn them down
Write your name across the damage
Through the venom rain
Through the rust and shattered glass
You’re the hymn inside the hurricane
The last light in my collapse
[Verse 2]
You stitched roses to your jacket
Thorns still hidden in the thread
Said
“I don’t believe in halos
I believe in what we bled”
Every scar you traced in silence
Turned to constellations
Bright
On your tongue
My broken secrets
Sounded almost like a right
[Chorus]
Be my crimson crown
On a kingdom built from ashes
Take my ruins
Burn them down
Write your name across the damage
Through the venom rain
Through the rust and shattered glass
You’re the hymn inside the hurricane
The last light in my collapse
[Bridge]
Raise your hands like rusted wings (hey!)
Let the darkness learn your grace
If the world forgets our names
Carve them in the devil’s face
I would walk the blade beside you
Over every smoking field
If the sky itself divides us
I will tear apart the veil
[Chorus]
Be my crimson crown
On a kingdom built from ashes
Take my ruins
Burn them down
Write your name across the damage
Through the venom rain
Through the rust and shattered glass
You’re the hymn inside the hurricane
The last light in my collapse (my collapse)
You’re the hymn inside the hurricane
My crimson crown that never cracks
