Midnight Throne Version B

[Verse 1] Candles on the kitchen floor Melted wax on old band tees You trace symbols in the dust Say you’re done with pleasing kings Black ink on your Sunday skin Every rule a crooked crown You laugh at every haloed face (we were made to burn them down) [Chorus] Raise your glass to the midnight throne To the fallen star that said “I’ll stand alone” Bless the voice that taught us how to say “I won’t bow, I won’t break, not today” And to the deep that swallows all our shame Serpent in the tide, calling out my name If freedom is a sin, let me be undone In the shadow of the rebels and the drowned one [Verse 2] Silver waves in a cracked glass bowl Storm maps on your bedroom wall You say there’s beauty in the pit When you’re not afraid to fall Every sermon in your head Turns to static, fades to grey You find comfort in the dark Where the outcasts learn to pray [Chorus] Raise your glass to the midnight throne To the fallen star that said “I’ll stand alone” Bless the voice that taught us how to say “I won’t bow, I won’t break, not today” And to the deep that swallows all our shame Serpent in the tide, calling out my name If freedom is a sin, let me be undone In the shadow of the rebels and the drowned one [Bridge] Here’s to the question Here’s to the doubt To every locked door We’re kicking out If their sky is perfect Let it stay that way We’ll build our kingdom Where the wild hearts stay (hey!) [Chorus] Raise your glass to the midnight throne To the fallen star that said “I’ll stand alone” Bless the voice that taught us how to say “I won’t bow, I won’t break, not today” And to the deep that swallows all our shame Serpent in the tide, calling out my name If freedom is a sin, let me be undone In the shadow of the rebels and the drowned one
