Hollow Crown

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Blood mercy

Verse 1

Six feet down I dug my own grave

Dug it twice just to feel the weight

Red moon hanging like a broken crown

My hands are shaking can't put this down

I wore the crown of thorns till it turned to rust

Every promise turned to powder turned to dust

Begged the sky for mercy got a hollow sound

Now I'm carving my own prayers into holy ground

Pre-Chorus

Cut the cord

Cut it clean

Let the nothing take the mean

Chorus

Blood mercy on my tongue tonight

Blood mercy I been paying twice

Blood mercy ain't no saving light

Blood mercy gonna swallow me right

Verse 2

Came up from the basement wired to the floor

Painted all my demons on a secondhand door

Whispered to the ceiling like it heard me speak

Now the walls got voices and they all sound weak

I sold my shadow for a louder sound

Every echo in my chest is a hollow crown

Traded my reflection for a suicide grin

Now I'm running from the ghost I let in

Pre-Chorus

Cut the cord

Cut it clean

Let the nothing take the mean

Chorus

Blood mercy on my tongue tonight

Blood mercy I been paying twice

Blood mercy ain't no saving light

Blood mercy gonna swallow me right

Bridge

All I ever wanted was a quiet room

All I ever got was a louder tomb

Hands in the dirt and the dirt gets cold

Nothing in this world that I didn't sold

Chorus

Blood mercy on my tongue tonight

Blood mercy I been paying twice

Blood mercy ain't no saving light

Blood mercy gonna swallow me right
