[Verse 1]
You called it love
Just felt like leaning on a knife
Every promise
Another crack across my spine
I kept shrinking
Till my name did not fit my skin
You kept winning
Till I could not tell loss from sin
[Chorus]
I was crawling through the glass of us
Bleeding for a broken trust
Every word you said
A brand on my back
But I’m burning down the throne you had
From the ashes of your hands
I’m molten from my chains
I’m molten from my chains
[Verse 2]
You drew borders
Round the corners of my mind
Every silence
Was a prison you designed
You said “forever”
Like a sentence
Not a vow
You taught me suffering
I’m teaching myself out
[Bridge]
I tear your picture
From the altar in my head
Let the edges cut my fingers
Till your ghost turns red
You were never
Worth the weight I thought you were
I am steel now
You’re a scar I barely blur
[Chorus]
I was crawling through the glass of us
Bleeding for a broken trust
Every word you said
A brand on my back
But I’m burning down the throne you had
From the ashes of your hands
I’m molten from my chains
I’m molten from my chains (yeah)
