Blackout Crown

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left the lock turned in the door Like I was built to beg for more I found my coat, I found my keys I found the nerve beneath my knees [Pre-Chorus] Every warning on the wall Was a map to make me tall I was waiting for a sign Now the choice is mine [Chorus] I won’t wear your weight tonight I’m cutting loose, I’m stepping into light Let the old walls shake and fall I was never small at all You can keep the crown you made I’ll build my own from every scar I saved When the whole room says I’m wrong I’ll be standing strong [Verse 2] Your picture’s face-down in the drawer The silence doesn’t scare me anymore I took the long way past your street And heard my name beneath my feet [Pre-Chorus] Every bruise I learned to hide Put a little steel inside Now the fear can draw its line It won’t cross mine [Chorus] I won’t wear your weight tonight I’m cutting loose, I’m stepping into light Let the old walls shake and fall I was never small at all You can keep the crown you made I’ll build my own from every scar I saved When the whole room says I’m wrong I’ll be standing strong [Bridge] If I bend, I bend like fire Turning pressure into wire No more waiting, no more chains I can rise without your name [Final Chorus] I won’t wear your weight tonight I’m cutting loose, I’m stepping into light Let the old walls shake and fall I was never small at all You can keep the crown you made I’ll build my own from every scar I saved When the whole room says I’m wrong I’ll be standing strong I’ll be standing strong [Outro] The door is open, hear me call I was never small at all
