Crown Still on My Head (Remastered) by Lani Layne

[Intro]
[clean electric guitar arpeggio, light reverb]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Verse 1]
[male vocals, chest voice]
I spun a phantasm into a king's embrace
Crafted a throne from the threads of space
Gave him my daylight, my essence so bright
While I lingered just outside my own life
I poured rivers into hands turned cold
Tried to grasp the tales that were never told
But the mirror spoke gentle, soft and clear
Sweetheart, your crown's still here

[Chorus]
[bass and drums enter]
Now I catch my voice in the whirling wind
Calling my spirit back from within
No more hiding, no more pretending
I reclaim the truth that's never ending
I'm returning to the woman I know
Fire in my heart, steadiness in toe
No more offering my throne away
To someone who doesn't know how to stay
I summon my energy back tonight
Every shard of my heart, every spark of light
I rise, I stand, and I claim instead
My crown was never lost
It was always on my head
My crown's still on my head
Still on my head
You thought I vanished, I just brought me back instead
Back instead, I just brought me back instead

[Verse 2]
[guitar continues, synth pads swell]
I sparked the signs I once tried to bind
Shine on the lock that I couldn't find
But intuition shouted, clear and bold
While I was lost in the story so told
I'm not a girl who begs for the light
I'm the tempest, the calm in the night
The one who walks with a regal hand
A galaxy cradled within my stand

[Chorus]
[full arrangement]
I am innate to the noise again
Calling my power back, strength within
No more chasing phantoms or pretend
I remember who I've always been
I'm returning to the woman I know
Fire in my heart, steadiness in toe
No more offering my throne away
To someone who doesn't know how to stay
I summon my energy back tonight
Every shard of my heart, every spark of light
I rise, I stand, and I claim instead
My crown was never lost
It was always on my head
My crown's still on my head
Still on my head
You thought I was lost, I just took me back instead
Back instead, I just took me back instead

[Outro]
[drums drop out, guitar and vocals only]
I forgive the girl who forgot her name
She was just trying to ease the pain
But the queen inside her never strayed
She was waiting for this serenade
Now all the tears transformed to flame
Every lesson whispers my name
And the woman I'm becoming
She's the one who holds the main
Unheard in the life I choose to embrace
My temple, no need for space
No more shaking, my sacred grace
Someone who can hold my place
I gather my future into my hands
Every wish, every breath
I was never lost
It was always on my head
My crown's still on my head
Still on my head
You thought I was lost, I just took me back instead
Back instead, I just took me back instead
[vocal ad-libs fade]
(I just took me back instead)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
