Crown on Fire (version 2)

Verse

Iron crown pressed to my skull

Blood and smoke through the grout

Every face in this room a stranger

Mine is the only one that holds out

Pre-Chorus

Something breaks loose in my chest

Crown won't come off no matter what I do now

Chorus

Crown on fire, crown on fire

Hands up high against the wire

Skin burns bright where the iron bit

I am not who they made me yet

Verse

Tide comes in through the speaker stack

Salt water eating at my spine

Concrete floor and a thousand shoulders

One heartbeat keeps this whole thing mine

Pre-Chorus

Something breaks loose in my chest

Crown won't come off no matter what I do now

Chorus

Crown on fire, crown on fire

Hands up high against the wire

Skin burns bright where the iron bit

I am not who they made me yet

Bridge

Not the king they told me to be

Something older beneath this metal

Let it burn before I breathe it

This is mine before it's theirs

Chorus

Crown on fire, crown on fire

Hands up high against the wire

Skin burns bright where the iron bit

I am not who they made me yet
