Crown of Smoke cover art

Paroles

[Verse 1]
Candles drip on cracked white tile
Cobweb throne at the end of the aisle
You laugh when I turn my back
Shy grin hiding in the heart of black

Marble halls where the mirrors lie
Every door is another try
I swear I almost caught your eye
Then you’re gone
Just a chill and a sigh

[Chorus]
King Boo
You only show up when I chase you
Soon as I’m close
You fade from view
Why do I always run to
Someone that I can’t hold on to
Crown made of scars and see-through
King Boo
You haunt me ‘cause I let you

[Verse 2]
Silver frames with your face scratched out
Empty chair at the end of the route
You talk loud in the back of my mind
But you choke when it’s on the line

Velvet cape dragging through my sleep
You rule every secret I keep
I bow down to the hurt I knew
Swear I’m done
But I come back to you (yeah)

[Chorus]
King Boo
You only show up when I chase you
Soon as I’m close
You fade from view
Why do I always run to
Someone that I can’t hold on to
Crown made of scars and see-through
King Boo
You haunt me ‘cause I let you

[Bridge]
I light the room
You cut the fuse
I call your name
You just choose
To hide in every empty space I move through (oh)

I drop the chains
You bend the key
You’re not a ghost
You’re part of me
I’m the one that keeps you on that balcony

[Chorus]
King Boo
You only show up when I chase you
Soon as I’m close
You fade from view
Why do I always run to
Someone that I can’t hold on to
Crown made of scars and see-through
King Boo
Tonight I finally see you

[Outro]
Take your crown
I’m walking through
Close my eyes
I’m passing you
Empty room
But it feels brand new
No more throne for my King Boo
