Bad Omens - Kingdom of Cards lyrics
[Bad Omens - Kingdom of Cards lyrics]
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
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
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 'til
I'm buried in my grave
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
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
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 'til
I'm buried in my grave
I'll do it all over again from the start
(I'll do it again) and this time
You're not leaving me in the dark
(I'll do it again) you took me for granted
Now look where you are (I'll do it again)
Atop of a kingdom you built out of cards
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
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
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 'til
I'm buried in my grave
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
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
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 'til
I'm buried in my grave
I'll do it all over again from the start
(I'll do it again) and this time
You're not leaving me in the dark
(I'll do it again) you took me for granted
Now look where you are (I'll do it again)
Atop of a kingdom you built out of cards
