Lyric

Don’t mistake my silence for regret

I buried mercy where the roses slept

Every saint is just a story told

By someone who survived the cold

I don’t need the morning anymore

I learned to breathe beneath the floor

Every promise tastes like rust

So I only trust the dust

If the world needs someone to blame

It already knows my name

Let the skyline paint me black

I’ll wear the shadow like a crown

Heroes only shine because

Someone else is falling down

I don’t need your absolution

Don’t need heaven looking back

Every halo leaves a ghost

When it finally starts to crack

The orchestra keeps playing slow

While cities bloom beneath the smoke

Every smile’s a polished knife

Hidden in a velvet coat

Call me what you have to call

Monster, myth, or aftermath

Truth has never worn one face

Only different kinds of masks

No thunder

No warning

Just a room

That slowly realizes

Who was holding

The light all along

Build another golden hero

Carve another perfect lie

Every kingdom needs a villain

Just to teach the stars to shine

When the curtain finally closes

And the silence fills the hall

Don’t remember what I looked like—

Remember

How I made you

Question everyone at all
