## Lyrics

```
I Kept Your Throne

[Verse 1]
From the sugared glass of the upper deck
I watched your little planet split
Their cities foamed like broken teeth
Their oceans learned to fizz

My father opened up his hand
And poured his judgment down
But I was not there for his war
I came to see your crown

[Pre-Chorus]
They called you monster
They called you lost
They dressed your hunger up in shame
But I remember what you were
Before they taught you smaller names

[Chorus]
I kept your throne
I kept your crown
I kept the court from chewing through the walls
I kept your cup of flame unspilled
I kept your name inside my jaws

I kept your throne
I kept your sign
I fed the moons on royal wine
Now lift your face from all that bone
My king, I kept your throne

[Verse 2]
Your hands were full of gummy stars
Your mouth was bright with war
You ate their flags, you ate their guns
And still you wanted more

The generals screamed into the smoke
The judges begged the sky
But I have heard a sweeter law
When empires learn to die

[Pre-Chorus]
They don't know the shape of grief
They don't know the taste of kingdom
They thought they buried what you were
But sugar keeps what meat forgets

[Chorus]
I kept your throne
I kept your crown
I kept the court from chewing through the walls
I kept your cup of flame unspilled
I kept your name inside my jaws

I kept your throne
I kept your sign
I fed the moons on royal wine
Now lift your face from all that bone
My king, I kept your throne

[Bridge]
I have kept your throne in silence
I have kept your cup of flame
I have mourned you like a widow
I have whispered back your name

I have worn the heavy sweetness
I have smiled with sharpened teeth
I have waited in the warship
With the kingdom underneath

[Final Chorus]
I kept your throne
I kept your crown
I kept the court from chewing through the walls
I kept your cup of flame unspilled
I kept your name inside my jaws

I kept your throne
Now take your sign
Come home through smoke and royal wine
The little world has come undone
My king, your kingdom has begun

[Outro]
I kept your throne
I kept your throne
I kept your throne
Inside my jaws
