Hollow Crown

[Chorus]

You know you're fighting in a losing battle

Making a noose out of your hollow crown

I hold a match up to your paper castle

And watch it all burn down, down, down

You know you’re fighting in a losing battle

Making a noose out of your hollow crown

I hold a match up to your paper castle

And watch it all burn down, down, down

Down, down, down

[Verse 1]

T-tell me what you see, my dear, my dear

Is there anyone you trust 'round here, 'round here

Keep a knife under your pillow, the sharks and the minnows

Smell blood in the water ’round here, 'round here

And tell me who you're fighting right now, right now

You got everyone against you somehow, somehow

It's become an obsession, look at your reflection

And look who you're becoming right now, right now (Oh)

[Pre-Chorus]

I could've been who you trusted (Oh)

I could've been who you need right now (Oh)

But you pushed me away, yeah, you lost me (Oh)

And now you're lost

[Chorus]

You know you’re fighting in a losing battle

Making a noose out of your hollow crown

I hold a match up to your paper castle

And watch it all burn down, down, down

You know you’re fighting in a losing battle

Making a noose out of your hollow crown

I hold a match up to your paper castle

And watch it all burn down, down, down

Down, down, down

[Verse 2]

A funny kind of love, my dear, my dear

Got a kick out of the taste of my tears out here

Thought you had to play a villain, running from your feelings

But I'm walking on my own, no fear, no fear (Oh)

[Pre-Chorus]

I could’ve been who you trusted (Oh)

(I could've been who you trusted)

I could've been who you need right now (Oh)

But you pushed me away, yeah, you lost me (Oh)

And now you're lost

[Chorus]

You know you’re fighting in a losing battle

Making a noose out of your hollow crown

I hold a match up to your paper castle

And watch it all burn down, down, down

You know you're fighting in a losing battle

Making a noose out of your hollow crown

I hold a match up to your paper castle

And watch it all burn down, down, down

Down, down, down
