[Intro]
Ash in my lungs
Teeth in the dark
I walk through the sirens
Like it’s a theme park (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Welcome to my Mental Hell City
Billboards flicker with my old memories
Burning down the faces that betrayed me
Laughing while the smoke draws halos over me
Concrete cracks, monsters in the crosswalk
Every single shadow trying to small-talk
Every single voice in my skull says "Bleed"
I just grin, drag my boots through the heat
[Chorus]
I love the fire, I love the smoke
Breathing in the curses that I never spoke
Deep rooted war in my rib cage drum
Let the beasts in my head all scream as one
This Mental Hell City feels like home
Every twisted echo carving bone on bone
I love the burning, I love the roar
I’m built for the battle at my inner core (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Street signs written in intrusive thoughts
Red paint, real pain, lines I cross
Hear the VoicesOfBeasts in the alleyway
Begging me to lose, daring me to stay
They say, "You’re broken"—I say, "That’s art"
Turn my panic to a mural on a parking lot
InA DeepRootedWar with an old version of me
I’m the arsonist now, let the past just freeze
[Chorus]
I love the fire, I love the smoke
Breathing in the curses that I never spoke
Deep rooted war in my rib cage drum
Let the beasts in my head all scream as one
This Mental Hell City feels like home
Every twisted echo carving bone on bone
I love the burning, I love the roar
I’m built for the battle at my inner core (oh)
[Bridge]
Yeah, I walk through the flames like prayer
Every scar on my mind like stairs
Climb, fall, climb, fall, still there
Still here, still here, no fear (hey!)
[Chorus]
I love the fire, I love the smoke
Breathing in the curses that I never spoke
Deep rooted war in my rib cage drum
Let the beasts in my head all scream as one
This Mental Hell City feels like home
Every twisted echo carving bone on bone
I love the burning, I love the roar
I’m crowned in the chaos
I’m the king of this war
