[Verse] The candle flickers the shadows creep A tiny crack runs jagged and deep Oh cruel fate why do you strike A nail once proud now lost to the night [Prechorus] It’s just a chip they say But oh the price I pay [Chorus] Broken but unbowed I’ll rise above the crowd Though pain may sing and sorrow howl I’ll wear my flaw like a thorn-tipped crown [Verse 2] Each painted tip was a warrior’s shield A polished gleam my beauty revealed But now this shard this jagged edge Cuts through my soul with a steely wedge [Prechorus] They say it’s small they laugh But they don’t know my wrath [Chorus] Broken but unbowed I’ll rise above the crowd Though pain may sing and sorrow howl I’ll wear my flaw like a thorn-tipped crown
