Rusted Crown

Teeth marks

On the back of my doubt

I wore your words

Like a rusted crown

Bent knee

To a throne made of shame

Kissed the dirt

Just to carve out your name

I won't crawl for you now

Set fire to this rusted crown

Every scar that you drew in my skin

Is a banner that says "I win"

I won't choke on your vows

Hear my silence getting loud

From the ashes that you buried me in

I rise again

I rise again

Thin glass

Where my backbone should be

You tapped cracks

Just to watch me bleed

Your cold laugh

Still lives in these halls

But I stitched

Every hole in these walls

I won't crawl for you now

Set fire to this rusted crown

Every scar that you drew in my skin

Is a banner that says "I win"

I won't choke on your vows

Hear my silence getting loud

From the ashes that you buried me in

I rise again

I rise again

[Halftime breakdown hits

Guitars drop an octave]

You made me an altar of anger

You made me a weapon of doubt

You made me believe I was nothing

Watch me tear your kingdom down (down!)

You made me an echo of failure

You carved your curse in my mouth

I spit it out

I spit it out

I spit it out

I won't crawl for you now

Set fire to this rusted crown

Every scar that you drew in my skin

Is a banner that says "I win"

I won't choke on your vows

Hear my silence getting loud

From the ashes that you buried me in

I rise again

I rise again
