lyrics

Hold me down now, drag me under,
I breathe for you, deepest water,
Grey and blue you paint my skies.

Hold me close, hold me tightly,
Passing ways, ships in the night,
You're my eyes, You're my sight.

Until it all falls down,
Until your love runs dry,
Until you swallow me whole,
until you eat my pride.

Oh, The weight upon your head, weighing you down.
Oh, The weight upon your head, Breaking you down.

Cause heavy is the head that wears the crown.

From above me, Or below,
You motion of me, lets me know.
That I'd have been better, letting you go.

you come closer, taste my breath
you'll push into me, chest to chest
lay me down, lay me to rest.

You're a sight for sore eyes,
So I carve out my skull,
On a silent cold night,
That's Eternally dull.

I sleep per chance to dream, until my death.
Cause I'm not used to getting any rest.
weep you might releave a little stress.
While you're spitting out words,
that you need to confess.

Until it all falls down,
Until your love runs dry,
Until you swallow me whole,
until you eat my pride.

Silenced by the sound
Under the weight,
I'm sure to drown,

Cause heavy is the head that wears the crown

The weight upon your head, weighing you down.
Oh, The weight upon your head, Breaking you down.
Oh, The weight upon your head, weighing you down.
Oh, The weight upon your head, Breaking you down.

Cause heavy is the head that wears the crown
