Paper Crown #music

Lyrics: Let my guard down, thought the room was safe Opened up my heart in a hostile space Spoke about shadows, spoke about scars Trusted the wrong people with these words They took notes while I bled on the floor Now they use my truth to lock the door They smile to my face when I'm broken and small They love the view when I start to fall But the moment I stand, the moment I rise The panic starts showing in their eyes Words were honest, now they hold it to my head A revolver, primed with words that have been said They only like it when they can hold you down So their fragile ego can be fed while they hold you down Yeah, they hold you down Fragile little kings on a paper throne Terrified to stand in the light alone So they look for a weakness, look for a crack Weaponise the honesty to push it back Keeping a ledger of all my mistakes To find the advantage that it takes Words were honest, now they hold it up to my head A revolver, primed with words that have been said They only like it when they can hold you down So their fragile ego can be fed while they hold you down Yeah, they hold you down Pull the trigger then, do what you gotta do My honesty is real, but what the hell are you You can hold it to my head, you can threaten my spark But you’re the one who’s terrified of the dark Keep your fake crown Crown... crown... Words were honest, now they hold it up to my head A revolver, primed with words that have been said They only like it when they can hold you down So their fragile ego can be fed while they hold you down Yeah, they hold you down Drop the crown It’s heavy anyway You can’t hold me down Not anymore -- Phill Marsland - Lyrics - © 2026 Digitalinsomniac "Ghostwriterinthemachine"
