Broken Crown

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Silver throne in a plastic room You wear that smile like a bullet wound King of ashes King of gloss All that glitter All that loss You sell your pain like a limited drop Dead-eyed halo in a bedroom shop Every promise tastes like rust Raise your chalice Drink the dust [Pre-Chorus] You call it art I call it fraud You play a god You’re just a fraud Every bow Every fake red carpet crown I’m here to drag that empire down [Chorus] Bow to the broken crown Crooked on my head but I run this town Blood on the velvet Teeth in the ground I make the rules when the throne burns down Long live the broken crown I wear my damage like a royal gown You want my fall? Better take me now I’m too loud Too proud In my broken crown [Verse 2] You built a church out of vanity posts Pray to reflections Worship your ghosts Chasing trends like a hit-and-run You bend your spine just to be that one Diamond chain But it’s choking tight Every kiss tastes like stage light You want my style Want my scars Steal my shade Never touch my heart [Pre-Chorus] You call it love I call it need You call it fate I call it greed Every script you hand me I burn it down I won’t kneel for a borrowed crown [Chorus] Bow to the broken crown Crooked on my head but I run this town Blood on the velvet Teeth in the ground I make the rules when the throne burns down Long live the broken crown I wear my damage like a royal gown You want my fall? Better take me now I’m too loud Too proud In my broken crown [Bridge] I won’t apologize for the mess I am (no) Sharp-tongued sinner with a holy plan Turn my bruises into border lines Every scar a border you can’t cross this time You want pretty? go and buy a doll I’m the glitch in your idol wall Rip the banner Tear the poster down You’ll remember when the lights go out [Chorus] Bow to the broken crown Crooked on my head but I run this town Blood on the velvet Teeth in the ground I make the rules when the throne burns down Long live the broken crown I wear my damage like a royal gown You want my fall? Better take me now I’m too loud Too proud In my broken crown [Outro] Broken crown But it fits just right (oh) Stained and bent But it still ignites Let it cut Let it dig in deep I’ll be king of the ones you couldn’t keep
