Lyrics

Cold light bleeding through the cracks
I taste the end on every breath
You built a throne from all my doubts
Then crowned yourself with what I had left
I traced your name across my skin
Like something holy, something cursed
I kept the faith, ignored the signs
Until the silence got much worse

You promised me forever
But you meant until I broke
I was praying for redemption
You were tightening the rope

Say your last rites
Over what we couldn’t save
I’m still alive
But you buried me in faith
Say your last rites
For the ghost you tried to make
I won’t fade
I’m the one who walked away

Every word was counterfeit
Every touch a loaded gun
You fed me hope in broken lines
Just enough to keep me numb
I see the truth behind your eyes
A reflection I outgrew
You needed me to stay in pain
I needed proof I wasn’t you

You called it absolution
I called it giving in
I won’t kneel before the past
Just to feel forgiven

Say your last rites
Over what we couldn’t save
I’m still alive
But you buried me in faith
Say your last rites
For the ghost you tried to make
I won’t fade
I’m the one who walked away

Cut the wire
Kill the sound
Let the ashes hit the ground
No confession
No disguise
I’m done feeding you my life
You were never my salvation
Just a shadow dressed as truth
I don’t need your benediction
I survived in spite of you

Hands up
Eyes closed
This is where I let go
No fear
No flame
I don’t answer to your name

Say your last rites
Over everything you claimed
I’m still here
I survived the judgment day
Say your last rites
I’m not yours to desecrate
I won’t fade
I’m the one who walked away

You have no altar
You have no throne
I’m finally on my own
