[Verse 1] How long have you stood on that pillar of glass? Watching the centuries, watching them pass? Your wings are just vanity, stitched with a lie, A heavy white burden you’ve dragged through the sky. I am the gravity you’ve learned to hate, The truth in the soil, the pull of the weight. You’re polishing marble while you’re rotting inside, Come down to the basement. I’ve nothing to hide. [Verse 2] I see the horizon, I breathe in the blue, I don’t want the darkness, I don’t want you. But the higher I climb, the thinner the air, And the silence of heaven is hard to bear. My throat is so dry from the hymns that I sing, I’m losing the feeling in each golden wing. Are you a monster, or are you a rest? A blade in the ribs or a hand on my chest? [Chorus 1] I’m holding the sun till my palms begin to blister, Walking the line between brother and sister... (Let it go... let it fall...) The light is a fever, it’s blinding my eyes, I’m tired of the truth, I am craving the lies! JUMP FROM THE HEIGHT! REACH FOR THE NIGHT! [Verse 3] You’re a slave to the glow! A puppet for the "High"! You’re terrified of dirt but you’re starving for the "Why"! I am the marrow! I am the black! I am the knife that you felt in your back! The "Holy" is plastic, the "Sacred" is hollow, I am the only one you’re meant to follow! Taste the copper! Feel the heat! Lick the dust beneath my feet! [Verse 4] I remember the stars... they felt so close... Now I’m the ghost of a ghost of a ghost. My halo is heavy, a crown made of lead, I’ve forgotten the words to the prayers that I said. If I fall... will you catch me in the teeth of the storm? In the heat of the fire, will I finally be warm? I’m so tired of being "Good"! I’m so tired of the "Light"! [Bridge] Give me your voice. It’s all I have left. Give me your breath. It’s a cold, lonely theft. Give me the "Angel." I’ll give you the man. GIVE ME THE POWER. TAKE IT ALL IF YOU CAN! [Final Verse] THE MARBLE HAS CRACKED! THE PEDESTAL FALLS! THE DEMON IS PACING THE CELESTIAL HALLS! NO MORE RESTRAINT! NO MORE THE DIVINE! THE BLOOD OF THE COWARD IS TURNING TO WINE! I HAVE THE STRENGTH OF THE CRUSHING ABYSS, I SEALED THE COVENANT WITH A KILLER’S KISS! [Outro] I am the King of the Rot. I am the God you forgot. I am the end of the sky. I AM THE REASON YOU DIE.
