The throne I built is made of broken glass
Watching all the shadows as they pass
I fought for every inch of hollow ground
Just to find there's silence in the sound
The gold is cold against my tired skin
Where do I end and where does this begin?

And the walls are closing in, I'm suffocating slow
Underneath the surface, there's nowhere left to go
I'm reaching for the air, I'm reaching for the light
But the darkness is the only thing in sight

It's the weight of the crown, it's the price of the pride
I'm burning alive with this monster inside
I wanted the world, now I'm kneeling in dust
Watching my kingdom turn into rust
It's pulling me down, it's pulling me down
The weight of the crown

You see the armor, but you miss the scars
Locked inside this cage of silver bars
The more I gain, the more I have to lose
A path of thorns I didn't mean to choose
I'm screaming but the echoes are too loud
Just another ghost lost in the crowd

And the walls are closing in, I'm suffocating slow
Underneath the surface, there's nowhere left to go
I'm reaching for the air, I'm reaching for the light
But the darkness is the only thing in sight

It's the weight of the crown, it's the price of the pride
I'm burning alive with this monster inside
I wanted the world, now I'm kneeling in dust
Watching my kingdom turn into rust
It's pulling me down, it's pulling me down
The weight of the crown

I don't want it
Take it back
I don't want it
Take it all back

It's the weight of the crown, it's the price of the pride
I'm burning alive with this monster inside
I wanted the world, now I'm kneeling in dust
Watching my kingdom turn into rust
It's pulling me down, it's pulling me down
The weight of the crown

Heavy is the head
Heavy is the heart
Watch it fall apart
