Crown of Wounds

Intro

Yeah

Uh

Listen close

Verse 1

They cheered my name when I was bleeding on the canvas

Handed me the crown like I was something they could own

I smiled and shook their hands and played the hero

Now the hero's dead and I'm the one who killed him slow

Pre-Chorus

You wanted a savior

You got a king

You wanted a story

I burned the whole thing

Chorus

Bow down

Bow down to the man you made

Bow down

I ain't your pretty parade

You carved me open now you're gonna feel the blade

Bow down

Bow down to the monster you gave

Verse 2

Every scar a receipt for the love you sold me

Every tear a tax that I paid to wear the gold

I gave you everything and you still wanted nothing

So I'm taking back the throne and burning down the road

Pre-Chorus

You wanted a hero

You got a ghost

You wanted forever

I wanted it most

Chorus

Bow down

Bow down to the man you made

Bow down

I ain't your pretty parade

You carved me open now you're gonna feel the blade

Bow down

Bow down to the monster you gave

Bridge

I am the wound

I am the knife

I am the proof

You wasted your life

Crown on my head

Blood on my hands

This is the end of the hero you planned

Bow down to the man you made

Bow down

I ain't your pretty parade

You carved me open now you're gonna feel the blade

Bow down

Bow down to the monster you gave

Yeah I'm the monster you gave
