Heavy is the head that wears the crown Second guessing your decisions Trying to find out what's been missing Go and wake the king Call to arms For those who kiss the ring Stand your ground The walls are coming down

The monarchy of roses Several of my best friends wear, The colors of the crown And Mary wants to fill it up, And Sherry wants to tear it all back down, girl The savior of your light The monarchy of roses tonight We all want the rose you know

It's my body and I'll die when I want to Die when I want to, die when I want to The monster in me is wearing the crown I'll be the king and you'll be the crown I'll take the blame For waiting around I'll be the villain you can't live without Strip off

From the pinnacle It is a long way down You are cast out from the heavens to the ground Blackened feathers falling down You will wear your independence like a crown You have the power You wear the crown You wield the scepter

So crawl on my belly til the sun goes down I'll never wear your broken crown I took the road and I fucked it all the way Now in this twilight, how dare you speak of grace Touch my mouth And hold my tongue I'll never be your chosen one I'll be home,

Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh) I'm wearing my heart like a crown Pretending that you're still around Oh yes, I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh) Pretending I'm doing well (ooh ooh) My need is

I know a better way I swear I know a better way You don't get to say what I'm made of You don't give me a halo Don't give me a halo So you think you know the way that I should live my life I'll smash your crown before I give you power to decide There is

I can't find the words to say They're overdue When these pillars get pulled down It will be you who wears the crown And I'll owe everything to you How much pain has quaked your soul? How much love would make you whole? You're my guiding lightning strike

From the pinnacle It is a long way down You are cast out from the heavens to the ground Blackened feathers falling down You will wear your independence like a crown You have the power You wear the crown You wield the scepter

Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh) Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh) I'm wearing my heart like a crown Pretending that you're still around Pretending I'm doing well (ooh ooh) My need is
