[Verse 1] You prayed in Latin I mouthed it back Burned your candles Watched them crack Silver cross On a shaking hand You begged for mercy I drew a line in sand [Chorus] I am the sugar in the wound Sweet as I drag you to your doom Smiling while the roses bloom in black You call it evil I call it coming back I am the throne inside your head Velvet around the rust and lead You think you’re holy when you say my name But I am the owner of your shame [Verse 2] You lock your doors You pull the blinds Still let me sleep Behind your eyes You clutch your book You kiss the page Yet every saint Still loves a cage [Chorus] I am the sugar in the wound Sweet as I drag you to your doom Smiling while the roses bloom in black You call it evil I call it coming back I am the throne inside your head Velvet around the rust and lead You think you’re holy when you say my name But I am the owner of your shame [Bridge] You point at shadows I’m in the mirror (oh) You preach of monsters I’m getting clearer You fear the fire But here’s the twist The thing you’re praying Doesn’t exist [Chorus] I am the sugar in the wound Sweet as I drag you to your doom Smiling while the roses bloom in black You call it evil I call it coming back I am the throne inside your head Velvet around the rust and lead You built a heaven just to feed my flame Because I am the owner of your shame
