Broken Crown

Mumford & Sons

Touch my mouth and hold my tongue
I’ll never be your chosen one
I’ll be home, safe and tucked away
You can’t tempt me if I don’t see the day
The pull on my flesh was just too strong
stifles the choice and the air in my lungs
better not to breathe than to breathe a lie
'cause when I open my body I breathe a lie
I will not speak of your sin
There was a way out for him
The mirror shows not
Your values are all shot
But oh, my heart was flawed I knew my weakness

So hold my hand, consign me not to darkness.
Crawl on my belly ‘til the sun goes down
I’ll never wear your broken crown
I took the road and I fucked it all away.
Now in this twilight how dare you speak of grace.
Crawl on my belly until the sun goes down
I’ll never wear your broken crown
I took the road and I fucked it all away.
Now in this twilight how dare you speak of grace.
So, crawl on my belly until the sun goes down
I’ll never wear your broken crown
I can take the road and I can fuck it all away.
And in this twilight our choices seal our fate.
