[Intro]
Low hum in my chest
Stage lights burn my face
Teeth grit
Hands shake
I walk into the black
[Verse 1]
Shadows on my back
Calling me by name
Every step I take
Feels like feeding flames
Heartbeat like a drum
Then it disappears
Silence in my skull
Ringing in my ears
[Pre-Chorus]
I go under
Then I surface
Every scar
Feels on purpose
[Chorus]
Into the black
I’m falling
I’m rising
High then low
Like thunder colliding
If this is hell
I’ll carve out my heaven
Screaming in the dark ‘til the dark starts tremblin’
Into the black
[Verse 2]
Teeth in every doubt
Laughing when I bleed
I’ve been on the floor
Begging for a breeze
Then I taste the spark
Metal on my tongue
I roar against the dark
Lungs fill like a gun
[Pre-Chorus]
I go under
Then I surface
Every wound
Turns to purpose
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Crawl…
To my knees
To my feet
To the edge of the stage
Stand…
With my fists
With my voice
With this beautiful rage
[screamed backing]
Let it break
Let it break
Let it break me clean
[guitar solo]
Then I rise in the steam
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Lights fade
Heart loud
One last shout back
I was never yours
I’m the king of the black
