Cardboard Crown (Doody Dayz)

[Verse 1] Pulled away from the noise Found a room of my own I was carrying a weight That was ready to go Locked the world on the other side For a minute or two Sometimes peace only shows up When the time comes due [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need a map I don’t need a sign Some things only happen One step at a time [Chorus] Cardboard crown, cardboard crown I wear it now, I wear it now Set it down, set it down And leave it there, leave it there Cardboard crown, cardboard crown Still holding on, still holding on But every king gets lighter When the work is done [Verse 2] Read the words on the wall Like a message from fate Watched the minutes roll by While I learned from the weight There’s a strange kind of wisdom In a quiet little room Where the things that you drag in Don’t always leave with you [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need gold I don’t need fame Just a moment alone At the end of the day [Bridge] Let them laugh if they want Let them guess if they can Everybody leaves something behind When they stand where I stand And I know what I got When the moment is through A little less burden And a better view [Final Chorus] Cardboard crown, cardboard crown I wear it now, I wear it now Set it down, set it down And leave it there, leave it there Cardboard crown, cardboard crown Still holding on, still holding on But every king walks out smiling When the burden’s finally gone
