Take Back The Throne

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You carved your law in the side of my door Told me to kneel, then you asked me for more I kept the key where your cold hands couldn't reach Now every promise tastes like rust in my teeth [Pre-Chorus] You built a throne from the things I let you take Now watch it buckle with every breath I make [Chorus] I am the weight you could never hold down The buried thing clawing its way through the ground You called me finished; you called me your own Now I tear through the walls and I take back the throne [Verse 2] Your golden rules left a bruise on the page I learned to read them, then I learned to break the cage No more permission, no debt left to pay I bite through the chain and I spit out your name [Pre-Chorus] You built a throne from the things I let you take Now watch it buckle with every breath I make [Chorus] I am the weight you could never hold down The buried thing clawing its way through the ground You called me finished; you called me your own Now I tear through the walls and I take back the throne [Bridge] Keep your hands off the shape of my life I am not yours to divide One more step and the whole house will fall I was the crack in the stone all along [Breakdown] No crown No chain No voice in my head but my own No crown No chain I take back what you called your own [Final Chorus] I am the weight you could never hold down The buried thing risen and tearing through ground You called me finished; you called me your own Now I tear through the walls and I take back the throne [Outro] I take back the throne I take back my name
