Heavy is the Crown Lyrics – Linkin Park

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
It’s pourin’ in, it laid on the floor again
One knock at the door and then
We both know how the story ends, you can’t win
Get your white flags out when the war begins
Aimin’ so high, but swingin’ so low
Tryna catch fire, but feelin’ so cold
Hold it inside, hope it won’t show
I’m sayin’ it’s not, but inside I know

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
Today is gonna be the day you notice
‘Cause I’m tired of explaining what the joke is

[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin’ down
Try to hold it in, but it keeps bleeding out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the–
Heavy is the crown

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
Turned to run, now look what it’s become
Outnumbered, ten to one
Back then, should’ve bit your tongue
There’s no turnin’ back this path once it’s begun
You’re already on that list
Say you don’t want what you can’t resist
Waving that sword but the pen won’t miss
Watch it all fallin’ apart like this

[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin’ down
Try to hold it in, but it keeps bleeding out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the–
Heavy is the crown

[Bridge: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
Today is gonna be the day you notice
‘Cause I’m tired of explainin’ what the joke is
This is what you asked for

[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin’ down
Try to hold it in but it keeps bleeding out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the–
Heavy is the crown

[Outro: Emily Armstrong]
Heavy is the crown
Heavy is the–
Heavy is the crown
