Crown of Thorns ☆ DARGEN

[Intro] [distorted electric guitar riff, driving drum beat] [Verse 1] [palm-muted guitar, bass, and drums] Black lace clinging to my ribs like chains Smudged ink where my name used to be I laugh too loud in empty rooms Just to hear something answer back [Chorus] [open power chords, heavy crash cymbals] Break the glass let it cut me clean If pain is truth then I'm wide awake This crown of thorns fits better than their lies I'd rather burn than fade away [Verse 2] [palm-muted guitar returns] Streetlights flicker as I walk alone Pavement cracks echo every step They called me ghost but ghosts don't sweat Ghosts don't curse when their hands shake [Chorus] [full intensity] Break the glass let it carve my skin If silence screams then I'll scream louder This hollow chest still pounds with rage I'd rather shatter than play pretend [Bridge] [half-time feel, bass-driven] You want to tame a quiet shadow But wild hearts don't kneel [crescendo] I'll tear the sky just to watch it bleed With colors you'll never feel [Guitar Solo] [distorted lead guitar with wah-wah effect] [Chorus] [maximum volume] Break the glass let it stitch my veins If love is war then I'm still fighting This broken throne is mine to keep I'd rather die than disappear [Outro] [feedback swell, final drum hit]
