[Intro]
Blood on my dress
Gold on my hands
You said my name
Like you owned my lands (hah)
[Verse 1]
Met you in the dirt
Boots in my silk
You touched my crown
Like it was milk
Spilling down the drain
All my fathers built
You smiled sweet
While you watched me tilt
You kissed my ring
Then you cut that deal
Signed in spit
On broken steel
You held me close
While you took my seat
Fed me lies
Like poisoned sweets (mmm)
[Chorus]
You only loved me for the throne
Turned my palace to your home
Now I’m stitching up the dark I own
I’ll take it back, I’ll take your soul
Crush your name under my heel
Make your heartbeat match my will
You made a kingdom out of bruise
Now I make a throne made of you
[Verse 2]
You walked my halls
Like you paid that tax
Hands on maps
While you stabbed my back
Common tongue
But your eyes said war
Used my crest
As your private sword
Tore down tapestries
Burned my laws
Laughed at the ghosts
In my mirrored walls
You wore my colors
Like cheap perfume
Then locked me
In my childhood room (oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
You thought I’d break
Thought I’d fade, fade, fade
But I got spells
For the games you played
I draw circles
In the dust you left
Whisper vows
Under poisoned breath
[Chorus]
You only loved me for the throne
Turned my palace to your home
Now I’m stitching up the dark I own
I’ll take it back, I’ll take your soul
Crush your name under my heel
Make your heartbeat match my will
You made a kingdom out of bruise
Now I make a throne made of you
[Bridge]
Black candle on your photograph
Red string ’round your autograph
Say it once
Say it twice
Let your bright eyes pay the price
Salt in the cracks
Of the floor you stole
Ash in the wine
That you like to pour
Every new kiss
That you try to taste
Turns to dust
Turns to my grace (yeah)
[Chorus]
You only loved me for the throne
Turned my palace to your home
Now I’m stitching up the dark I own
I’ll take it back, I’ll take your soul
Crush your name under my heel
Make your heartbeat match my will
You made a kingdom out of bruise
Now I make a throne made of you
[Outro]
Say my title
On your knees (on your knees)
Every promise
Come to bleed
I lost a crown
Got a kingdom too
’Cause I built a throne
I built a throne out of you
