[Verse 1]
Oh I breathed you in
But you didn’t come back out
I don’t remember it now
But I know the fall out
Tried to mess my mind but you left no doubt
A permanent low
Your hands stuck around my throat
Now I’m losing sleep
Cause when I do I know I’ll dream
And I know it’s only nightmares waiting for me
[Pre-Chorus]
Now everybody sings
Everybody sings
[Chorus]
“All hail the ruiner
All hail the king”
They called him my lover
But I don’t remember a thing
Now he’s stains on my body like ink
On the pages of my story
He goes down in glorious
Endings, divine
Everyone forgets
The story was mine
[Verse 2]
Steel my spine
Take the blows
They praise his name
And I’m the true foe
The monster mother’s tell their boys about at night
“Oh, she’ll ruin you
So keep your name clean
Oh, she’ll ruin you”
But about his hands she never says a thing
Why didn’t you tell him
Why didn’t you say
Sometimes damnation
Is a street that goes both ways
[Pre-Chorus]
Now everybody sings
Everybody sings
[Chorus]
“All hail the ruiner
All hail the king”
They called him my lover
But I don’t remember a thing
Now he’s stains on my heart like ink
On the pages of my story
He goes down in glorious
Endings, divine
Everyone forgets
The story was mine
[Bridge]
I saw it coming
And it still knocked me off my feet
I saw it coming
And it still took the breath out of me
They call him a king
So what does that make me?
They call him a king
So guess that makes me
[Chorus]
All hail the ruiner
All hail the king
They called him my lover
But I don’t remember a thing
Now he’s stains on my mind like ink
On the pages of my story
He goes down in glorious
Endings, divine
Everyone forgets
I will never forget
I can never forget
