[Verse 1] Coat turns Like a loaded coin Red side Black side Pick your poison Blood in the stitch Spell on the tongue You walk through walls Like a chosen one Four doors Drawn in your palm Grey rain White crown Black calm You carry cities Across your chest Every mark a promise Every promise a debt [Chorus] Kell With the world in your pocket Ash in your lungs Iron under your skin One eye black One eye red Border boy Born to break the rim Kell Every step is a bargain Names in your mouth that burn like lead You keep losing pieces to the magic But you’re the one it chose instead [Verse 2] White thrones Made from other men’s bones Red glass Dancing on the stone Grey fog Clinging to your coat Power tastes bitter In the back of your throat You draw a door In a tavern’s smoke Home so close It feels like a joke Prince in chains That they call a son Weapon in red That they think they own [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] You were never just a messenger Never just their painted shield Carrying curses like letters Signed and sealed [build] When the hollows call your name And the river runs like ink Will you cut your palm again Or finally let it drink? [crescendo] [Chorus]
