This Crown

You can't claim this crown
You can't claim this crown
Life keeps pouring from these eyes
And yet I'm still mystified
Try to keep myself from
Falling under

These hopes are wearing thin
From behind this vacant grin
I'm escaping
I'm not falling under

You can't claim this crown
This flame can't be put out
You can't claim this crown
These screams won't be drowned out
Cling on to what I'm fighting for
You cannot claim this crown

What you fail to realize
There's no room for compromise
I'll never slip
I'm never sinking under
Come and revel in my skin
Cuz I'm never giving in
Come what may
Your hands won't pull me under

You can't claim this crown
This flame can't be put out
You can't claim this crown
These screams won't be drowned out
Cling on to what I'm fighting for
You cannot claim this crown

You cannot break me down
You cannot claim this crown
You cannot bring me down

You can't claim this crown
This flame can't be put out
You can't claim this crown
These screams won't be drowned out
Cling on to what I'm fighting for
You cannot claim this crown

You can't claim this crown
You can't claim this crown
