Iron Crown 23

Verse

Iron crown rusted on a wire frame

Bones remember the weight they carried once

Every scar's a name I never learned

Concrete remembers what we forget

Static hums like an old man's breath

Floor still holds the shape of bodies past

I am just one heartbeat in a long line

Pre-Chorus

Tell me who I was before this room

Tell me what my name was, standing here

Skin and steel both wear a crown

Nobody leaves without becoming someone else now

Chorus

Iron crown on my skin tonight

Every pulse is just another light

I am the weight it wears tonight

Iron crown till the lights come up

Verse 2

Hollow throne where kings used to sit

Now it's my chest, holding tight

Same iron that built this floor below me

Feeds back through every heartbeat I lose

Every face that walked this line before me

Folded into the rust on my collarbone

Nobody leaves without becoming someone else now

Pre-Chorus

Tell me who I was before this room

Tell me what my name was, standing here

Skin and steel both wear a crown

Nobody leaves without becoming someone else now

Chorus

Iron crown on my skin tonight

Every pulse is just another light

I am the weight it wears tonight

Iron crown till the lights come up

Bridge

I took the throne from every body that stood here before me

Every heartbeat's a name that I don't know anymore

Steel remembers what mine forgets

I'm just the last one holding the rest

Chorus

Iron crown on my skin tonight

Every pulse is just another light

I am the weight it wears tonight

Iron crown till the lights come up
