Broken Crown

Mumford & Sons Mumford & Sons

Touch my mouth and hold my tongue
I'll never be your chosen one
I'll be home, safe and tucked away
You can't tempt me if I don't see the day

The pull on my flesh is just too strong
Stifled the choice and the air in my lungs
Better not to breathe than to breathe a lie
When I open my body I breathe a lie

I will not speak of your sin
There was a way out for him
The mirror shows not
Your values are all shot

And oh, my heart was flawed I knew my weakness
So hold my hand, consign me not to darkness

So crawl on my belly till the Sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
I took the road and I fucked it all away
Now in this twilight how dare you speak of grace

So crawl on my belly until the Sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
I can take the road and I can fuck it all away
Now in this twilight how dare you speak of grace

So crawl on my belly until the Sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
I can take the road and I can fuck it all away
But in this twilight our choices seal our fate
