Lyrics
[Verse 1] Golden Silken threads on the floor
I watched from the heavy stone balcony
Muscle
Moving like water
Sweat on your spine
Hard
Sharp
Focus
[Verse 2] Steam rises
Clouds in the tile room
I hid behind the painted cedar screen
Broad shoulders
Heavy chest
Water dripping down your legs
I forgot my name
I forgot the crown
[Chorus] Take the throne
Take it all away
I want your hands on my throat
I want your weight on my chest
Defile the king
Break the law in the sheets
Make me yours
Make me yours
Make me yours
[Post-Chorus] Lay me down
Lay me down
Oh oh oh
Just lay me down
[Verse 3] Send them home
The girls in the garden
I don't want the perfume or the lace
I want the dirt
I want the scars
The way you look at me like I am glass
Shame
Burning
Hotter than the sun
Touch me once
Touch me twice
Touch me until I am gone
[Chorus] Take the throne
Take it all away
I want your hands on my throat
I want your weight on my chest
Defile the king
Break the law in the sheets
Make me yours
Make me yours
Make me yours
[Bridge] Forbidden blood
Forbidden skin
Forbidden heat
I'll give up the empire
I'll burn the palace down
Just to feel you inside this room
Just to feel you inside the dark
Just to feel you
[Chorus] Take the throne
Take it all away
I want your hands on my throat
I want your weight on my chest
Defile the king
Break the law in the sheets
Make me yours
Make me yours
Make me yours
[Post-Chorus] Lay me down
Lay me down
Oh oh oh
Just lay me down
[Outro] The crown is heavy
But you are heavier
Break me
Defile me
My guard
My king
Mine
