Heavy Is the Crown

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]

It's pourin' in, you're laid on the floor again

One knock at the door and then

We both know how the story ends

You can't win if your white flag's out when the war begins

Aimin' so high but swingin' so low

Tryin' to catch fire but feelin' so cold

Hold it inside and hope it won't show

I'm sayin' it's not, but inside, I know

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]

Today's gonna be the day you notice

'Cause I'm tired of explainin' what the joke is

[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]

This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown

Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' down

Try to hold it in, but it keeps bleedin' out

This is what you asked for, heavy is the

Heavy is the crown

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]

Turn to run, now look what it's become

Outnumbered, ten to one

Back thеn should've bit your tongue

'Cause thеre's no turnin' back this path once it's begun

You're already on that list

Say you don't want what you can't resist

Wavin' that sword when the pen won't miss

Watch it all fallin' apart like this

[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]

This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown

Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' down

Try to hold it in, but it keeps bleedin' out

This is what you asked for, heavy is the

Heavy is the crown

[Bridge: Mike Shinoda]

Today's gonna be the day you notice

'Cause I'm tired of explainin' what the joke is

[Breakdown: Emily Armstrong]

This is what you asked for

[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]

This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown

Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' down

Try to hold it in but it keeps bleedin' out

This is what you asked for, heavy is the

Heavy is the crown

[Outro: Emily Armstrong]

Heavy is the crown

Heavy is the, heavy is the crown
