[Verse 1] I woke with dust on my hands From touching the same old wall The hall was full of portraits All staring through my fall I kept your name like a coin Pressed cold in my tongue But every road I followed Led back to where none begun [Pre-Chorus] Hear that drum in the stone Hear it call me home I stood in the doorway And I stood alone [Chorus] Finding nothing, finding nothing Still I wore the empty crown Finding nothing, finding nothing But I never knelt me down Oh, I rose through the ruin Oh, I learned the shape of sound Finding nothing, finding nothing And I’m still here now [Verse 2] The tables held old silver The cups were chipped by time Your laugh was in the rafters Like smoke from a hidden shrine I traced the cracks in the marble Counted each broken line If this is where the kingdom ends Then let it end on mine [Pre-Chorus] Hear that drum in the stone Hear it call me home I stood in the doorway And I stood alone [Chorus] Finding nothing, finding nothing Still I wore the empty crown Finding nothing, finding nothing But I never knelt me down Oh, I rose through the ruin Oh, I learned the shape of sound Finding nothing, finding nothing And I’m still here now [Bridge] I took the map and burned it Watched the old gold fade Then I heard my own heart Like a blade made brave If the throne is only shadow I will cast one too From the ash of every ending I build something true [Final Chorus] Finding nothing, finding nothing Still I wore the empty crown Finding nothing, finding nothing But I never knelt me down Oh, I rose through the ruin Oh, I learned the shape of sound Finding nothing, finding nothing And I’m still here now
