(Verse 1) I scratch at the walls of a mind gone numb Every echo screaming what I’ve become Teeth clenched tight, but I’m coming undone Another war and I’m the only one Blood in the static, it’s calling my name Twisted reflection, I’m feeding the flame Buried alive in the things I create I am the lie that I learned to hate (Pre-Chorus) You wanna see what’s underneath? Rip it out, no time to breathe (Chorus) Break me down—I’m not your savior Crown of thorns made of my behavior Spit it out, all the doubt inside I wear the scars I try to hide Tear me up—watch me shatter Nothing left that even matters Scream it loud so I can drown King of nothing—fractured crown (Verse 2) Voices crawl like bugs in my skin Every whisper pulls me back in Cycle spins, I’m losing control Digging deeper into the hole Chains I forged now tighten fast Every future mirrors the past I can’t run from what I’ve made I am the price that won’t be paid (Pre-Chorus) You wanna taste the enemy? Take a look—it’s all me (Chorus) Break me down—I’m not your savior Crown of thorns made of my behavior Spit it out, all the doubt inside I wear the scars I try to hide Tear me up—watch me shatter Nothing left that even matters Scream it loud so I can drown King of nothing—fractured crown (Bridge — half-time, eerie) Peel the mask—there’s nothing there Just hollow bones and poisoned air Every truth I tried to kill Comes back screaming louder still (Breakdown) I! WON’T! BOW! TO THE VOICE INSIDE MY HEAD! CUT! IT! OUT! OR I’LL WISH THAT I WAS DEAD! (Final Chorus) Break me down—I’m not your savior Crown of thorns made of my behavior Spit it out, all the doubt inside I wear the scars I try to hide Tear me up—watch me shatter Nothing left that even matters Scream it loud so I can drown King of nothing—fractured crown (Outro) Fractured… broken… left to decay… I built the throne… then threw it away…
