Crown

I meant to
I made do
I gave you my only light

I crowned you
I loved you
I tried to do everything right

Now there's smoke in every mirror
Song decays and starlight withers
Blood runs thick in every river, ah

I felt you
I lost you
I called your name but it was just a sound

A harbor
A monster
The hand that holds me
And holds me down
Learned to like the taste of the ground

Did you not or did you wanna
Take me cold and aching toward a
Gilded grave or black aurora now
Keep your empty crown

Strayed too far, I can't go farther
Naked need, addicted martyr
Torn away but always part of you
Keep your empty crown

Now there's smoke in every mirror
Song decays and starlight withers
Blood runs thick in every river
Keep your empty crown

Now I'm sin and synesthesia
Gave up trying to reach and please you
Held down in the stars of Libra
Keep your empty crown
