Heavy Lies the Crown

[DeezyType]

Put a sliver of my soul into this very paper

Write you letters, quill dipped in blood

Think of what I'll say to her

Will things ever be the same now that I've brought the flood?

Heavy lies the crown when all you've claimed was to be sane

Have we passed the best of us since I've been named Lazarus?

 

 

I'm sorry, baby, I've gone away to safety

Left you out on the streets, memories burst into flames

Every time I think of you a shiver goes down my spine

Chilling bone, tearing eyes, I cannot face all my lies

 

 

The urge to kill; the wish to die; things I knew all too well

Adrenaline mixed with heroin fueled my very engine

An alchemist and a chemist making my own medicine

Life became so dramatic, death itself seemed so ecstatic

Weighing options hand in hand, Gates of Hell or Heaven

 

 

Just let me know, when I'm needed by your side

I'll be your hero, not your heroin

I love you so I've got to let you go

I cannot be your suicide

I can't be your suicide

 

 

Still I live, behind closed doors

Only now a story to tell

Was forever pushed away, silhouette of society

Now a hero for the broken

Put a use to these contorted thoughts

Save a life, that's alright with me

 

 

The flood gates are open, sirens ringing in my ears

Some think of this as catastrophe, but this is only venting

Let everything out, show my true colors,

I know I'm not an angel, but neither a demon

I recommend you do the same, reconcile all you've wronged

I know it all seems oh, so hard, but all this is, is stormy weather

And I'll sail with you, as well as others

 

 

Just let me know, when I'm needed by your side

I'll be your hero, not your heroin

I love you so I've got to let you go

I cannot be your suicide

 

 

There'll be no more hand in hand

Now its just me, with my toes in the sand

Head up to the sky, mind wanderin' to different lands

But when you're not okay, I'll be waiting

 

 

Just let me know, when I'm needed by your side

I'll be your hero, not your heroin

I love you so I've got to let you go

I cannot be your suicide

I can't be your suicide
