Linkin Park, “Heavy Is the Crown” Lyrics (through Genius)

It’s pourin’ in, it laid on the flooring once more
One knock at the door after which
We each know the way the story ends, you’ll be able to’t win
Get your white flags out when the warfare begins
Aimin’ so excessive however swingin’ so low
Tryna catch hearth, however feelin’ so chilly
Hold it inside and hope they will not present
Sayin’ it isn’t, however inside I do know

Today is gonna be the day you discover
‘Cause I’m uninterested in explainin’ what the joke is

This is what you requested for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the dawn, ashes rainin’ down
Tryna maintain it in but it surely retains bleedin’ out
This is what you requested for, heavy is the
Heavy is the crown

Turned to run, now look what it is develop into
Outnumbered tеn to at least one
Back then, ought to’ve bit your tonguе
There’s no turnin’ again this path as soon as it is begun
You’re already on that record
Say you do not need what you’ll be able to’t resist
Waving that sword when the pen will not miss
Watchin’ all of it fallin’ aside like this

This is what you requested for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the dawn, ashes rainin’ down
Tryna maintain it in but it surely retains bleedin’ out
This is what you requested for, heavy is the
Heavy is the crown

Today is gonna be the day you discover
‘Cause I’m uninterested in explainin’ what the joke is
This is what you requested for

This is what you requested for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the dawn, ashes rainin’ down
Tryna maintain it in but it surely retains bleedin’ out
This is what you requested for, heavy is the
Heavy is the crown

Heavy is the crown
Heavy is the
Heavy is the crown
