[Verse]
Reaching out hands shaking it’s mine now
The weight of it colder than I dreamed somehow
Chased it screaming pounding let it take my blood
Now I hold it and it's washing me in mud
[Verse 2]
Thought it was gold but it crumbles in my palm
Night falls deeper can't fake calm
The echoes louder it’s like a hollow scream
Said I got what I wanted but it’s tearing at the seams
[Chorus]
Don’t wanna hold this crown of dust
What I thought I wanted it’s all just rust
Now I’m breaking running turning to the winds
Find the fire where the real thing begins
[Verse 3]
Traded soul pieces for a glassy lie
In its glow felt emptier than the skies
The mirror cracked showed me my jagged face
It’s not the prize but the damn fruitless race
[Bridge]
Gotta dig deeper rip the earth apart
Peel the layers down to a broken heart
The shadows show me where I’ve got to go
Into the raw into the unknown glow
[Chorus]
Don’t wanna hold this crown of dust
What I thought I wanted it’s all just rust
Now I’m breaking running turning to the winds
Find the fire where the real thing begins
