This is what you Came for

[Intro] (La la la — la la la!) (La la la — la la la!) [Stomp, stomp, clap] (La la la — la la la!) So you brought me back? So I'll give you hell [Verse 1] Laid out, stage lit, boots tight, bass hit C-A-T-A-S-T-R-O-P-H-E — that’s me (la la la) Shirt off, scars show, tell the world what they already know Say the name, taste the flame, Damien — problem child, hall of fame Cut my teeth on barbed wire praise, Now I’m the rumor that sets the blaze Drip so mean, even heaven gets jealous They pray on their knees, but I preach with relish (La la la — la la la!) Wanna crown me king, but I burned the throne Slick talk saint with a mouth of chrome Say I’m too much — no such thing I make sinners kneel, and the choirs sing [Pre-Chorus] This ain’t an encore, this is my rite Spotlight’s heavy but I sleep just fine Can’t fake rage when you ARE the fight So welcome to the shrine — [Chorus] (La la la — la la la!) This is what you came for — pain wrapped in gold Hands in the fire, truth never sold Lights go black — I B-L-E-E-D show Crowd wants blood? Then I overflow (La la la!) Every cheer’s a chain, every scream a debt But I cash it all in with no regret You want real? You want war? You want sin behind a stage door? THIS—IS—WHAT—YOU—CAME—FOR! (La la la, la la la, la la la!) Clap till it hurts and pray for more! [Verse 2] Talk of the town, thorn in the crown Blew past the gatekeepers breaking it down I’m the line that you crossed, the clause you ignored The law that you broke just to say you adored (La la la!) They say tone it down — I say tone deaf I’m the cocktail of fame and theft Give me a mic, a crowd, a beat And I’ll give you your new favorite sin on repeat Crimes of fashion, crimes of style Crimes of passion in public trial They said don’t, so I did Turned your rulebook into a coffin lid Spelled out H-Y-P-E-R-S-O-N-I-C — that’s my speed (La la la — la la la!) I’ll make the angels dance and the devils plead [Bridge] [Synth drop, chaos building under vocals] (La la la, la la la) Hands up high — I’ll take the blame I built this world with spit and flame (La la la!) Can’t be tamed, I don’t behave I’m the loudest ghost you couldn’t save Here for the gasps, here for the burn Here for the lesson you never learn This ain't love, this ain’t art This is the beat of a dying heart — [Final Chorus] (La la la — la la la!) This is what you came for — scream it loud Dress it up in pain, then feed the crowd Make a scene, let the silence drown You wanted a god? Then kneel to the sound (La la la!) Fangs out smiling, blood on my hands Turned the void into high demand Say his name! Strike the chord! Raise your glass to the fallen lord! THIS—IS—WHAT—YOU—CAME—FOR! (La la la, la la la, la la la!) Clap till it hurts and scream for more! [Outro] [All instruments drop except kick and vocals] (La la la — la la la!) (La la la — la la la!) You brought me back — So I’ll give you hell.
