Rusted blade against my tongue I taste the iron sting
Every word I never said was a pearl I let it swing
Cracked the strings on my guitar let the melody decay
Poured the honey down my throat now the sweetness burns away
I keep digging in the wound watch the river turn to rust
Every promise that I broke is a monument to lust
Can't you see the fire rising from the ashes of my name
I'm the architect of ruin playing solitaire with blame
No zuo no die I light the match and hold it high
No zuo no die I watch the kingdom fall from the sky
No zuo no die the smoke is curling in my eyes
No zuo no die I'm the echo of my own lies
Fingernails against the glass drawing patterns in the frost
Every mirror that I broke left a ghost that I embossed
Now I'm dancing with the devil in a suit of my design
Trading diamonds for the scars and I'm calling it divine
No zuo no die I light the match and hold it high
No zuo no die I watch the kingdom fall from the sky
No zuo no die the smoke is curling in my eyes
No zuo no die I'm the echo of my own lies
I carved my name in every wall that crumbled to the ground
I drank the poison slowly let the numbness spin around
The velvet tongue of ruin the satin touch of shame
I wear them like a crown of thorns and I whisper my own name
(I whisper my own name)
No zuo no die I light the match and hold it high
No zuo no die I watch the kingdom fall from the sky
No zuo no die the smoke is curling in my eyes
No zuo no die I'm the echo of my own lies
