[Verse 1] I write my name in ash Between the burnt-out lines Your hurt sits on my shoulders Like a coat that fits just fine The room is full of candle bones And pages turning slow I keep my teeth on truth So the darkness has to go [Pre-Chorus] Mm, I learned the weight Mm, I learned the shape Of every shattered thing And what it takes [Chorus] I carry it, I carry it Heavy as a crown I turn it, I turn it I don’t bow down I carry it, I carry it Call me what you want I was broken once Now look what I’ve become [Verse 2] The old pain knows my fingers When they touch the ink I map out every scar Then I make it think I keep a fire in my chest Not pretty, but it stays It eats the fear for dinner Then leaves me in my place [Pre-Chorus] Mm, I learned the weight Mm, I learned the shape Of every shattered thing And what it takes [Chorus] I carry it, I carry it Heavy as a crown I turn it, I turn it I don’t bow down I carry it, I carry it Call me what you want I was broken once Now look what I’ve become [Bridge] Let the old grief knock Let it scratch the door I know that sound by heart I’ve been here before Ancient voices circle me Soft as a verdict I answer with my breath And make it worth it [Final Chorus] I carry it, I carry it Heavy as a crown I turn it, I turn it I don’t bow down I carry it, I carry it Call me what you want I was broken once Now look what I’ve become
