enDear - Heavy Heart, Heavy Crown

Cancer of the lungs
Disease of the tongue
Half filled scripts
Of indecisive love
Vying for attention
Is who you've become

You spew and you spit
All the salt and the sin
Even pity couldn't claim you
With the malice in your grin

Or transgressions of shame
You've built up in disdain
Swallowing up anyone
Who's ever tasted your pain

Yet your guilt knows no name
A fault in the wave
Of consciousness that still
Somehow resides in your brain

While your Frozen in fear
And shackled by chains
In a lonely throne room
Wearing the Mark of Cain

The only difference between
Departure and defeat
A thin line measured
With a guillotine
So will you lose head
Or give up your pride
A thin mine measured
With the blisters you hide

You can take your crown
(Don't let it break your neck)
The only burden you own
(Don't let me forget)
The weight casts you down
(Dragging me with you)
In shallow self doubt you still drown
You can take your crown
(Don't let it break your neck)
The only burden you own
(Don't let me forget)
The weight casts you down
(Dragging me with you)
In shallow self doubt you still drown

You still drown

You bitch and you moan
You ramble, I groan
Sick of every criticism
Shoved down my throat

Your porcelain face
Etched with eager dismay
Forced to listen to the reasons
That I need to change

Flawless and pure
So pompously sure
It's your fragile ego
That I'm forced to endure

You laugh and you lie
A jester disguised
But I can see the secrets
That you think you can hide

The only difference between
Departure and defeat
A thin line measured
With a guillotine
So will you lose head
Or give up your pride
A thin line measured
With blisters you hide

You can take your crown
(Don't let it break your neck)
The only burden you own
(Don't let me forget)
The weight casts you down
(Dragging me with you)
In shallow self doubt you still drown
You can take your crown
(Don't let it break your neck)
The only burden you own
(Don't let me forget)
The weight casts you down
(Dragging me with you)
In shallow self doubt you still drown

Drowning out all The deafening sounds
Your heart beats like An earthquake
Crashing the rhythm we found In our selves
Consuming every structure we made
Leaving nothing but destruction in your wake
A common problem from an eloquent fake
With no remorse or guiding shame
It's time we pawns remove the king

The only difference between
Departure and defeat
A thin line measured
With a Fucking guillotine

You can take your crown
(Don't let it break your neck)
The only burden you own
(Don"t let me forget)
The weight casts you down
(Dragging me with you)
In shallow self doubt you still drown
