Your Kingdom Burns

[Intro Do you hear that, darling? That's not thunder. That's your world coming down. You should have treated me better. Verse 1 You built a kingdom out of broken promises Wore your pretty lies like diamonds on your chest Made me your queen when nobody could see Then locked every door and swallowed the key You thought my silence meant I'd never speak Mistook my kindness for a heart that's weak But every little secret that you buried deep Was growing roots beneath your feet Pre-Chorus I kept your secrets I carried your shame I swallowed the ashes And whispered your name But the girl that you buried Has finally awoken And every last promise Is burning unspoken Chorus Your kingdom burns, your kingdom falls You built your throne on my silence Now hear me calling through these walls I'm done protecting your violence Your kingdom burns, watch it all fall The queen you created won't answer your call You took my heart, but you lost the war I'm not your victim anymore Oh-oh, your kingdom burns Oh-oh, now it's your turn Post-Chorus Burn it down Burn it down Not the world... Just your crown. Burn it down Burn it down You had your kingdom. Now watch me walk out. Verse 2 I told the truth, I let the silence break No more pretending for your perfect sake The people you fooled are beginning to see The difference between your mask and me You call me cruel because I finally leave You call it betrayal when I choose to breathe But I won't carry what you made me feel Your greatest fear is that I'm finally healed Pre-Chorus I kept your secrets I carried your shame I swallowed the ashes And buried the pain But the girl that you buried Has finally awoken And every last promise Is burning wide open Chorus Your kingdom burns, your kingdom falls You built your throne on my silence Now hear me calling through these walls I'm done protecting your violence Your kingdom burns, watch it all fall The queen you created won't answer your call You took my heart, but you lost the war I'm not your victim anymore Oh-oh, your kingdom burns Oh-oh, now it's your turn Bridge You said I would be nothing without you. Look at me now. You said nobody would believe me. They heard me. You said I'd come crawling back. I would rather walk through fire... Than kneel at your feet again. No more secrets... No more fear... No more pretending... I'm not yours, I'm here! Final Chorus Your kingdom burns, your kingdom falls I hear the truth echo through these halls You built your throne on the tears I cried But I'm the storm you could never survive Your kingdom burns, watch it all fall I'm done being nothing behind your walls You took my heart, but you lost the war I'm not your victim anymore Oh-oh, your kingdom burns Oh-oh, the whole world turns Your kingdom burns... And I walk away. Outro You built your throne on my silence... But silence... Was never surrender. Goodbye, darling.
