If you could see me now lyrics

Cold steel in my veins, I can't feel my wings Every spark they steal takes another thing This crown weighs heavier than it ever did Guess a throne means nothing when you're breaking like this I hear your name in the hum of the light In every scream this machine ignites Funny how the world ends quiet and slow And all I want is you to know I tried to be strong, tried to rule alone Built a kingdom from ash, called it home But every choice just pulled us apart And I lost you piece by piece, heart by heart If you could see me now, chained and burning Still loving you, still never learning Would you turn away, or would you stay? If you could hear me now, fading breath I'd trade my crown, I'd trade what's left Just to see your face one final day Lilith, I never stopped loving you I kept your ring like a promise made Even when the love felt miles away Charlie asks why I look so tired How do I say hope's a thing that expired? They call me king, but I feel so small Just a man who failed the ones he swore to hold Heaven took your fire, Hell took my spine And now Vox is counting down my time I should've listened when you cried Should've stood beside you, not behind my pride I thought forever meant we'd survive But forever breaks when you're not kind If you could see me now, chained and bleeding Every regret finally screaming Would you forgive the man I became? If you could hear me now, losing light I'd give it all, I'd give my life Just to say your name again Lilith, I still belong to you This machine keeps pulling at my soul Every memory's losing its hold But I still see you in Eden's glow Laughing like we didn't yet know That love could turn into a war That saving the world could cost us more If this is where my story ends Tell our daughter I loved her then If you could see me now, on my last breath No throne, no lies, just truth and death Would you remember who I was? If you could hear me now, as the light goes out I'd whisper your name, no fear, no doubt You were my home, you always was Lilith, I wish I could see you one last time The power fades, the silence stays A broken king in fading chains If love survives beyond this flame I'll find you I'll always say your name
