(heavy
breathing)
I take the hit,
then I deal the blow
But there is a black hole where my triumphs go
I get everything, but I feel nothing at all
Standing on the summit just to watch myself fall (yeah)
I am the crown of thorns and gold
Giving out the pain that I cannot hold
I win the war but I lose my mind
Leaving all the ashes far behind
Another trophy on a broken shelf
Fighting everyone but mostly myself
You see the armor,
you don't see the rust
Turning everything I touch into dust
I am the crown
of thorns and gold
Giving out the pain that I cannot hold
I win the war but I lose my mind Leaving all the
ashes far behind
I give!
I break!
I take! (blegh!) I
win...
but
I lose...
