Bad Omens Kingdom Of Cards Lyrics

[Intro]
Gave it all to burn forever underneath the rain
Drowning in the present of a past that I couldn't change
Writing songs instead of letters because I'm too afraid
Afraid of coming back to find that everything is the same
Everything is the same

[Verse 1]
I made my way through hell again, I paid for my mistakes
Next time I think, I'll stay awhile and pour myself a drink
When I return, I'll look for you, so listen for your name
If you can make it out above the roaring of the flames

[Verse 2]
If it's the mask you want, then it's the mask that you will get
But when I take it off, remember that you asked for this
I tore myself apart to give you all that I could give
Don't think that I will let it go, don't think that I'll forget
I thought I wanted legacy, I thought I wanted fame
I didn't know I'd lose all my loved ones in exchange
Left 'em all behind, and, yeah, for that I am ashamed
But that's the price I'm paying till I'm buried in my grave

[Pre-Chorus]
Gave it all to burn forever underneath the rain
Drowning in the present of a past that I couldn't change
Writing songs instead of letters because I'm too afraid
Afraid of coming back to find that everything is the same

[Chorus]
I'll do it all over again from the start
And this time you're not leaving me in the dark
You took me for granted, now look where you are
Atop of a kingdom you built out of cards

[Bridge]
I thought I wanted legacy, I thought I wanted fame
I didn't know I'd lose all my loved ones in exchange
Left 'em all behind, and, yeah, for that I am ashamed
But that's the price I'm paying till I'm buried in my grave

[Chorus]
I'll do it all over again from the start
And this time you're not leaving me in the dark
You took me for granted, now look where you are
Atop of a kingdom you built out of cards
