Crown of Rust II (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

Iron crown bent on the table top

Melted wire where the letters drop

Every name I held turned to rust

Left them standing where the daylight trust

The gates pulled shut behind my back

Boots still echoing off the rack

Sweat gone cold before the dawn

Crowd disperses, none of us gone

Pre-Chorus

Steel forgets a face it wore

Floor holds warm the day before

Something moves beneath my hand

Nothing left of me to stand

Chorus

I don't exist where the lights come up

Crown of rust, I lost my name in it

Every heartbeat wears a different crown

I don't exist where the lights come up

Verse 2

Chain mail shirt with every crown I've worn

Thumbprints gone beneath the grime and torn

No face stays whole inside this hall

Every mask falls before they all

The mirror shows a stranger's jawline

Static hums what my name once claimed

Sweat runs cold where the metal lies

Nothing keeps a face it can't supply

Pre-Chorus

Steel forgets a face it wore

Floor holds warm the day before

Something moves beneath my hand

Nothing left of me to stand

Chorus

I don't exist where the lights come up

Crown of rust, I lost my name in it

Every heartbeat wears a different crown

I don't exist where the lights come up

Bridge

No face underneath this skin today

Just the weight that the iron stays

The light comes up and the crowd moves on

Nothing left to call my own

Chorus

I don't exist where the lights come up

Crown of rust, I lost my name in it

Every heartbeat wears a different crown

I don't exist where the lights come up
