To your eyes, I might seem half-alive
But to me, fiction twirled and wrote my story
Possibly told allegory
In hindsight, I should have stepped light
But it's too late, deception had no meaning
The mask was torn
I charged for I'm no coward!
But I suppose I failed (I suppose I failed)
I tried to take this hour!
But I suppose I failed (But I suppose I failed)

There's only so much amends
Can change before
Boiling over
And all that I'd gained meant nothing to me
For I was left field wanting
To rid me of her haunting
And nothing real could stop me
But the faster I'd run the tighter the fangs of the crest took hold

Wide-eyed and turned around
A stone pound in the chest, denied and downed
But I still wore my crown
When all odds are stacked against me
And all courage split I'll stand my ground
With a prideful prowess
Heavy is the crown
I thought that I was bleeding virtue
Bakarum, bakarum
But all I ever did was hurt you
Bakarum, bakarum
And as she plays her heart before me
Put to sleep by her song
I promised never to desert you
Bakarum, bakarum!
Still lying to myself
Come join my treasured collection of tales
Beneath the onus upon my height
Was there a sliver of the man I used to be?

Wide-eyed and turned around
A stone pound in the chest, denied and downed
But I still wore that crown
When all odds are stacked against me
And all courage split I'll stand my ground
With a prideful prowess

Wide-eyed and turned around
A stone pound in the chest, denied and downed
But I still wore my crown
When all odds are stacked against me
And all courage split I'll stand my ground
With a prideful prowess
Heavy! (Heavy)
The sucker's crown
Heavy! (Heavy)
The sucker's crown
