Kingdom of Ashes Black and white vision, hunting while I’m in prison, Building my cathedral from the bones of every decision, I walk through forgotten worlds where the angels never listen, Every door I touch collapses, every saint becomes a victim. I drink from the rivers where the dying stars are drowning, Turn the heavens into ruins while the silence does the counting, Every heart that finds its rhythm hears my footsteps in the pounding, Every light that tries to guide them ends up buried in the grounding. You can run from the shadow, but the shadow wears your skin, You can lock away the monster, but you already let it in. I crush every feeling until nothing remains, Turn love into echoes and devotion to chains, You can’t let go, you’re stitched into the pain, Forever in the kingdom that I built from the rain. I pull every memory apart at the seams, Leave you wandering hallways of abandoned dreams, You can’t wake up when I’m living in between, An eternal night where nothing is what it seems.
