Lyrics
Intro
Yeah
Uh
I remember every single face
Every lie told to my space
Checking the rearview
Yeah
Verse 1
Heavy is the crown that I carry through the fire
Small minds talking while I build the spire higher
Told me I was finished back when winters felt so long
Now I use their bitterness to fuel a brand new song
Funny how they flip the script and try to grab a hand
Once they see the footprint growing deep across the sand
Betrayal is a lesson that I mastered in the dark
Leaving every traitor with a permanent red mark
Pre-Chorus
They tried to bury what they couldn't understand
Built my house on top of what they thought was sinking sand
I recall the whispers and the shadows in the hall
Now I'm standing upright watching every giant fall
Chorus
Tomorrow bows down to the king who never forgets
Walking through the smoke without a hint of regrets
Yesterday's betrayals were just bridges that I burned
Take a look around at every victory I earned
(Every victory I earned)
Yeah the throne is looking steady for the one who kept score
I ain't opening the window I just kicked in the door
(Kicked in the door)
Verse 2
Loyalty is expensive so I know the price is right
Watching fake supporters vanishing within the light
Pockets getting thicker while the circle gets small
I remember every snake that ever tried to see me fall
They were laughing in the basement while I plotted in the suite
Keeping receipts on everybody looking for defeat
Turned a stab in the back to a map for the goal
Cold-blooded movements but I still kept my soul
Pre-Chorus
They tried to bury what they couldn't understand
Built my house on top of what they thought was sinking sand
I recall the whispers and the shadows in the hall
Now I'm standing upright watching every giant fall
Chorus
Tomorrow bows down to the king who never forgets
Walking through the smoke without a hint of regrets
Yesterday's betrayals were just bridges that I burned
Take a look around at every victory I earned
(Every victory I earned)
Yeah the throne is looking steady for the one who kept score
I ain't opening the window I just kicked in the door
(Kicked in the door)
Bridge
Look in my eyes
You see the history
It's no mystery
I came I saw I conquered all the hate
Decided my fate
Changed my state
And now we move
Chorus
Tomorrow bows down to the king who never forgets
Walking through the smoke without a hint of regrets
Yesterday's betrayals were just bridges that I burned
Take a look around at every victory I earned
(Every victory I earned)
Yeah the throne is looking steady for the one who kept score
I ain't opening the window I just kicked in the door
(Kicked in the door)
