One last door
One last night
One last voice
Asking me to turn around
I know that voice

I woke up with the city underneath me
Gold morning pouring through the blinds
For a second I forgot the journey
Forgot the blood, the smoke, the nights

Then I saw the broken crown beside me
Saw the ashes underneath my feet
And somewhere in the silence
I heard the person I used to be

He said
You could go back
You could make it right
You could put the halo on
And sleep peacefully tonight

And for a moment
I almost believed him
Almost traded everything
For the comfort of a lie

But I looked into the mirror
And I finally recognized
The stranger looking back at me

This is the last temptation
The final door to heaven
The voice that says
I can become the old me again

This is the last temptation
The sweetest lie I've known
But I've already tasted freedom
And I can't unlearn the soul

So let the angels call
Let the devils wait
I've made my peace
With every mistake
This is the last temptation
And I'm walking away

Away, away
I'm walking away
Away, away
I choose myself today

I could wear the white shirt
I could hide the scars
I could tell them I'm forgiven
And pretend I never went too far

I could sit beneath the stained glass
Let somebody tell me who to be
I could trade this messy freedom
For a beautiful hypocrisy

But I know what happens next
I've lived that life before
The cage can look like paradise
When you've forgotten what the outside feels like

And for a moment
I almost believed it
Almost let nostalgia
Dress itself up as love

But the boy inside the mirror
Doesn't need to disappear
He just needs to know
He's finally enough

This is the last temptation
The final door to heaven
The voice that says
I can become the old me again

This is the last temptation
The sweetest lie I've known
But I've already tasted freedom
And I can't unlearn the soul

So let the angels call
Let the devils wait
I've made my peace
With every mistake
This is the last temptation
And I'm walking away

I forgive the fear
I forgive the shame
I forgive the hands
That tried to make me change

I forgive the nights
I begged to disappear
I forgive the younger me
For being terrified of being here

And if heaven wants me
It can find me as I am
No crown
No halo
No disguise
Just a man

One last temptation
One last lie
One last chance
To go back tonight
The door is open

I could walk through
But I know
I know me now

No

This is the last temptation
The final door to heaven
The voice that says
I can become the old me again

This is the last temptation
But I don't need the lie
I've already found my freedom
On the other side

Let the angels call
Let the devils wait
Let the whole damn world
Remember my name
This is the last temptation
And I'm walking away

Away, away
I'm walking away
Away, away
I choose myself today

Away, away
Let the old world fade
Away, away
I choose myself

The crown is broken
The halo is gone
The throne is empty
The hotel lights fade
The fire goes quiet
And for the first time
There is no one left to become
Just me

No saints here
No gods above me
No one to save me
No one to condemn me
Just freedom
