[Intro]
Dragged by the ankles
Through a doorway of flame
Every scar on my body
Starts calling my name
[Verse 1]
I see Depression first
Chewing glass where I used to sleep
Says
“You missed me?”
Spits my memories at my feet
Anxiety’s laughing
Counting seconds till I break
Hands on my throat
Like it’s cutting me awake
Lust in the corner
Wearing faces that I kissed
Perfume of regret
Blood and cheap innocence
Anger’s a mirror
With my fist already thrown
Shattered reflection
Crowns me with broken bones
[Chorus]
The devil may cry
I won’t
Even if I burn alone
Tie me to the thrones of ghosts
I’ve killed before
Turn my fear to sharpened stone
I won’t bow
I won’t go cold
The devil may cry
I won’t
I’ve bled for more
[Verse 2]
Floor made of secrets
Every step another lie
They carve my childhood
On the ceiling of the sky
Voices like vultures
Pick the hope out of my chest
Say
“You are every
Worst thought you ever meant”
[low vocal register]
But I’m done being hunted
By the ghosts that wear my face
If hell is my courtroom
Then I choose this place
Raise my hands in the furnace
Let the tendons tear
I stitch my will
To the smoke in the air
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]
You want my shame?
Come take it
You want my pain?
I made it
[demonic layered vocals]
All of my demons
Kneel when I stand
I am the ending
They’re just what I am
[crescendo]
I drag my depression
By the throat through the fire
Turn my anxiety
Into barbed-wire choir
Anger’s my armor
Lust is a spark
I weld them together
And walk through the dark
[guttural screams]
If hell wants a hero
It’s gonna get war
[Chorus]
