The Head That Wears the Crown

Remembrance makes a hateful weight A weariness that clings to me like rain Sleep that brings no peace or rest Troubled dreams of failure, loss, and shame The aimless stream of caustic thoughts Rewinding every word back to the start I'm losing hope of making sense Of the jumbled threads I pick apart But I'll wear out my voice in an attempt to wake the dead Spell my weakness out so clearly that it cannot be misread Stop pretending I don't need you when it's obvious I do There is nothing I need more right now than you But you wait to see me beg? That day comes never You would see me beg? Heavy is the head that wears the crown Precarious golden memories The moments of no distance in your voice Singing heart and dancing eyes Bright and fleeting. Breathless, stupid joy But anything that seems to hold Just makes you dive right back into the dark To lick the open wounds that made you So afraid of who you are So I'll wear out my voice in an attempt to wake the dead Spell my weakness out so clearly that it cannot be misread Stop pretending I don't need you when it's obvious I do There is nothing I need more right now than you But you wait to see me beg? That day comes never You would see me beg? Heavy is the head that wears the crown By now you know you got it wrong I won't pretend that it's ok You played my heart out for too long And threw the crucial parts away Stop pretending you don't need me when it's obvious you do There's no fucking doubt about it You would see me beg? That day comes never Heavy is the head that wears the crown You would see me beg? Heavy is the head If that is what you want, you'll wait forever
