[Verse 1] I wore that weight too long Like iron on my back Smile in the mirror Then the mirror cracked Hands shook on the rail Jaw locked in the dark Too proud to say I'm split Too tired to play the part [Pre-Chorus] Pressure on my chest Hear the stone move Every word I bite Cuts me in two [Chorus] Shattered crown Shattered crown I can't hold it down Shattered crown Shattered crown Watch me come unwound [Verse 2] Crowd at the gate keeps calling Want the mask, not me I stand in the spotlight But I don't feel free Nails in my palms now Blood on the gold Every brave face I built Turns brittle and cold [Pre-Chorus] Pressure on my chest Hear the stone move Every word I bite Cuts me in two [Chorus] Shattered crown Shattered crown I can't hold it down Shattered crown Shattered crown Watch me come unwound [Bridge] [Half-time] Say my name I might break Look too close See the quake No more stone No more throne I was made To let it show [Chorus] Shattered crown Shattered crown I can't hold it down Shattered crown Shattered crown Watch me come unwound [Outro] Hold me up Or let me fall I was king Then I lost it all
