Iron Crown 40

Verse

Last breath in the black room

Sparks cut across my palm

The iron crown was never meant to fit me

Just a shape that held us all

Concrete floor is warm now

Pupils wide against the grey

I traded everything for this one hour

And I'm still here, I'm still here

Chorus

Iron crown on empty skin

Still I rise where they said I'd sink

Bones are broke but the current holds

Iron crown, iron crown

Verse

Blood runs down my wrist like a river's memory

Every heartbeat borrowed from the crowd

Hands pull me up through the smoke and static

This is mine now, this is mine now

Chorus

Iron crown on empty skin

Still I rise where they said I'd sink

Bones are broke but the current holds

Iron crown, iron crown

Bridge

Not the weight that kept us down

It's what it taught me to carry out of town

The dark was never mine to keep

Just a gate I opened with my hands and feet

Chorus

Iron crown on empty skin

Still I rise where they said I'd sink

Bones are broke but the current holds

Iron crown, iron crown
