[Intro]oooooh, oooooooh , ooooooh o-o-h [Instrumental Drop] [Verse 1] Bring the cold remains of love that withered on the vine All the toxic history you carried next to mine Dig a trench for the regrets that kept you up at night Let them look us in the eyes before they fade from sight Lay them in the dirt, let the soil take the blame We are shedding every skin that ever answered to our name Facing the truth isn't checking the score It’s dropping your weapons at the edge of the floor [Pre-Chorus] But the weight is too heavy, the skin is too cold It’s time to drop the fiction that we’ve always been told. [Chorus] They call it a tomb because they fear what doesn't die They call it a ruin because it laughs at their lie But beneath the concrete, where the deep waters run We’re ruling the shadows till we swallow the sun. Heavy is the head that wears the fake gold But sacred is the sovereign that can’t be sold. They call it a yard, a treasury of loss But we can take the ruins and redefine the cost. Meet me at the crypt where the empires end We’ll build a throne out of what we can't mend Meet me at the crypt. [Post-Chorus Loud] Listen close to the sound, hear the dust start to sing Down in the dark, every shadow is a king Listen close to the sound, hear the dust start to sing Down in the dark, every shadow is a king [Instrumental Drop] [Verse 2] Dig a grave for the version of you from last year The one who traded vision for a handful of fear Shovel dirt on the alters where we sacrificed youth To the gods of comfort, to the shadows of truth It’s a beautiful execution, a clean, quiet blade To bury the mistakes that our (younger) hands made,It hurts to look at what we used to adore But we can't rule a life we're too scared to explore Look me in the eyes, let the old names fade This is the holy ground that our honesty made you can't fake a version of the true [Chorus] They call it a tomb because they fear what doesn't die They call it a ruin because it laughs at their lie But beneath the concrete, where the deep waters run We’re ruling the shadows till we swallow the sun. Heavy is the head that wears the fake gold But sacred is the sovereign that can’t be sold. They call it a yard, a treasury of loss But we can take the ruins and redefine the cost. Meet me at the crypt where the empires end We’ll build a throne out of what we can't mend Meet me at the crypt. [Post-Chorus Loud] Listen close to the sound, hear the dust start to sing Down in the dark, every shadow is a king Listen close to the sound, hear the dust start to sing Down in the dark, every shadow is a king [Instrumental Drop] [Bridge] Is there a heartbeat left under the stone? Or are we just two statues sitting alone? We can blow upon the coal, try to make the old spark burn Or finally turn the key and decide we’ll never return Strike a match to light the dark, let the flame decide its best Are we breathing life back in, or laying it to rest? [Instrumental Drop Very Loud] [Chorus] They call it a tomb because they fear what doesn't die They call it a ruin because it laughs at their lie But beneath the concrete, where the deep waters run We’re ruling the shadows till we swallow the sun. Heavy is the head that wears the fake gold But sacred is the sovereign that can’t be sold. They call it a yard, a treasury of loss But we can take the ruins and redefine the cost. Meet me at the crypt where the empires end We’ll build a throne out of what we can't mend Meet me at the crypt. [Post-Chorus Loud] Listen close to the sound, hear the dust start to sing Down in the dark, every shadow is a king Listen close to the sound, hear the dust start to sing Down in the dark, every shadow is a king [Instrumental Drop]
