Misc - Crown lyrics

rate me

If eyes are the mirror of the soul<br />

You will find in my the scorn and apathy<br />

You will read my hatred as in a curs'd book<br />

You will see yourself as I see you<br />

It is a mirror sombre and opaque<br />

Which protects me, which stifles me<br />

A great ditch around the heart<br />

Which rejects, which estranges me<br />

There is a world in my head<br />

A dead world where nothing lives<br />

And it is there I am, too far,<br />

Far too far to be rejoined<br />

A crown of thorns is still a crown<br />

I am a king in a kingdom of suffering<br />

I have taken my time to reach this stage<br />

I have taken pains to torture myself<br />

To descend, to descend<br />

Into pain, I exist<br />

And I my brain is numbed<br />

The thorn in my flesh<br />

Can overcome apathy<br />

There is glory in humiliation<br />

A throne to be taken, a crown to win<br />

I have no more tears,<br />

And my smile has lost it's brilliance<br />

I have forgotten who I was,<br />

I have killed my emotions<br />

Crushed, empty, weary,<br />

Always standing, I am a tree<br />

Awaiting the lightning.
