Built Me Back To A King

[Verse 1]
Woke up wishing I hadn’t
Curtains closed at noon
Ashtray on the mattress
Phone lit up the room
Stared straight into the ceiling
Like it might answer back
Every win turned distant
Every breath off track
Pills lined up in a circle
Name tags on the floor
Mirror said “you’re nothing”
I believed it more
[Chorus]
I was ready to fade, ready to fall
Ready to vanish, leave it all
You walked in, pulled me out the grave I was digging
You took these bones, dressed me in gold
Dusted my crown, called me your own
You built me back, built me back to a king (oh)
You built me back, built me back to a king
[Verse 2]
You found me in that silence
Eyes red, knuckles raw
You sat down in the wreckage
Didn’t flinch at what you saw
Said, “I see thrones in your shadow
I see storms that you survived”
I laughed right in your face then
But your eyes stayed kind
You held my shaking fingers
Traced scars like ancient maps
Said, “Every line’s a story
Every fall says you came back”
[Chorus]
I was ready to fade, ready to fall
Ready to vanish, leave it all
You walked in, pulled me out the grave I was digging
You took these bones, dressed me in gold
Dusted my crown, called me your own
You built me back, built me back to a king (yeah)
You built me back, built me back to a king
[Bridge]
[Dark piano enters, echoing in empty space]
Black keys bleeding in the half-light
Heartbeat counting with the low tide
Thought I’d drown, thought I’d stay down
Then your voice cut through the landslide
“I remember who you are
When you forget everything”
Each word heavy as a hammer
Forging armor on a fallen thing
[Chorus]
I was ready to fade, ready to fall
Ready to vanish, leave it all
You walked in, pulled me out the grave I was digging (pulled me out)
You took these bones, dressed me in gold
Dusted my crown, called me your own
You built me back, built me back to a king (oh yeah)
You built me back, built me back to a king

rap, Dark, cinematic trap with male vocals; sub-heavy 808s and sharp, skittering hats under a brooding minor-key synth bed. Verses sit in a claustrophobic pocket with low-passed drums and whispered doubles, then the hook smashes in with wide, distorted bass and eerie choirs. Bridge strips down to stark, reverb-soaked piano and distant vocal echoes before the final chorus hits at full intensity.
