[Verse 1] I was the wolf at the door Teeth slick Heart sore Taking what I wanted Leaving bodies in my war You walked straight through my smoke White dress Soft joke Said "You look tired Darling" Like I wasn't built to choke [Pre-Chorus] How the hell you see a soul In a blade and a black coat How the fuck you taste the gold In a mouth full of gun smoke [Chorus] You took my hands off the trigger Pulled my name from the fire Said "Baby You are more than ruin" Turned my hell to a choir I was a villain Cold and violent You kissed the blood from my skin You said "Live for me Live for us" And I was born again [Verse 2] I used to love the begging Used to crave that fear Now I just crave your heartbeat Right here Right here You prayed over my scars Cussed out all my ghosts Whispered "Fuck them You're mine" Like a blessing Like a toast [Pre-Chorus] How the hell you hold me close Knowing every crime I chose How the fuck you call it love While I'm shaking in your clothes [Chorus] You took my hands off the trigger Pulled my name from the fire Said "Baby You are more than ruin" Turned my hell to a choir I was a villain Cold and violent You kissed the blood from my skin You said "Live for me Live for us" And I was born again [Bridge] Now the ones I used to hunt Sleep safe through the night 'Cause you taught these cursed hands How to build Not fight I lay my head on your chest Hear a church in your breath If this is what love feels like Let it kill my old self to death (yeah) [Chorus] You took my hands off the trigger Pulled my name from the fire Said "Baby You are more than ruin" Turned my hell to a choir I was a villain Cold and violent You kissed the blood from my skin You said "Live for me Live for us" And I was born again [Outro Chorus] (Oh) I was the fucking nightmare Now I'm kneeling at your feet Your soft little "I love you" Brought a monster to his knees Choirs screaming Hearts exploding As you drag me through the flame Shout my new name Shout it louder I am healed I am saved I am tamed You took my hands off the trigger Ripped my past from my spine Screamed "Baby You are mine forever" As the dark turned divine I was a villain Goddamn violent Now I'm your lion Your man You said "Die for me Live for us" And I was born again (and I was born again)

Dark cinematic orchestra and male vocals over looming low strings, choirs, and distant taiko pulses; verses stay hushed and intimate with close-mic whisper-singing, pre-chorus swells with rising brass and tremolo strings, chorus explodes with full choir, sub-heavy percussion, and octave-doubled lead, explicit emotional delivery and raw ad-libs, final outro chorus stretches into an overwhelming wall of sound with stacked harmonies, rolling toms, and soaring violins for a cathartic 5-minute arc, orchestral, healing
