Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
There's a bruise inside a stormy sky
There's a scar in every reason why
There's a shipwreck sunk beneath the waves
That's the throne room where my sorrow stays
[verse]
There's a crow that circles overhead
There's a garden where the flowers bled
There's a fire burning slow and low
That's the only warmth I've come to know
[chorus]
I'm the king of pain, I wear the crown
Of every time the walls came down
I'm the king of pain, alone up here
Ruling over everything I fear
[verse]
There's a photograph left in the rain
There's a name I can't erase again
There's a ghost that walks these halls with me
That's the shape of who I used to be
[chorus]
I'm the king of pain, I wear the crown
Of every time the walls came down
I'm the king of pain, alone up here
Ruling over everything I fear
[bridge]
Maybe kings can learn to leave the throne
Maybe pain don't have to rule alone
Somewhere past this empire made of dust
There's a kingdom I could learn to trust
[chorus]
I'm the king of pain, I wear the crown
Of every time the walls came down
I'm the king of pain, alone up here
Ruling over everything I fear
