Crown Underneath (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

Iron crown pressed to the bone

Last breath rising through the stone

Cold hands counting to the break

Counting the hours I forsake

No name left on my collarbone

Just the metal and the cold tone

Wearing the silence like a throne

Eyes wide open in the grey light

Nothing moving but the tide tonight

Every heartbeat seals a vow

I don't exist before it's through

Pre-Chorus

Cold iron knows my name by now

Skin forgets, the metal won't

Hold on till the dark turns thin

Chorus

Crown underneath my skin

Nothing left to give again

No face under this cold weight

Just the current pulling tight

I don't remember how I came in

The iron keeps what the sun lets in

Floor still shaking, walls gone white

Cold crown holding me in its light

Verse

Ribs locked into the iron seam

Pulse running on borrowed steam

Fingers numb where the metal touches

No hand to lift or clutch it

Last echo of a name I lost

Muffled now beneath the frost

Strobe flash frozen in the wall

Nothing moving, nothing all

Just the weight and nothing more

Just the crown under my floor

Counting every heartbeat down

One more breath before it's gone

Pre-Chorus

Cold iron knows my name by now

Skin forgets, the metal won't

Hold on till the dark turns thin

Chorus

Crown underneath my skin

Nothing left to give again

No face under this cold weight

Just the current pulling tight

I don't remember how I came in

The iron keeps what the sun lets in

Floor still shaking, walls gone white

Cold crown holding me in its light

Bridge

Maybe that was never mine

Maybe the metal's just divine

Let it seal me, let it shut the door

Nothing left to answer for

Chorus

Crown underneath my skin

Nothing left to give again

No face under this cold weight

Just the current pulling tight

I don't remember how I came in

The iron keeps what the sun lets in

Floor still shaking, walls gone white

Cold crown holding me in its light
