hollow crown

you know you're fighting in a losing battle

making a noose out of your hollow crown

i hold a match up to your paper castle

and watch it all burn down

down

down

you know you're fighting in a losing battle

making a noose out of your hollow crown

i hold a match up to your paper castle

and watch it all burn down

now tell me what you see my dear

my dear

is there anyone you trust 'round here

'round here?

keep a knife under your pillow

the sharks and the minnows

smell blood in the water 'round here

'round here

tell me who you're fighting right now

right now

you've got everyone against you somehow

somehow

it's become an obsession

look at your reflection

and look who you're becoming right now

right now

i could've been who you trusted

i could've been who you need right now

but you pushed me away

yeah

you lost me

and now you're lost

you know you're fighting in a losing battle

making a noose out of your hollow crown

i hold a match up to your paper castle

and watch it all burn down

a funny kind of love my dear

my dear

got a kick out of the taste of my tears

out here

though you had to play the villain

running from your feelings

but i'm walking on my own

no fear

no fear

i could've been who you trusted

i could've been who you need right now

but you pushed me away

yeah

you lost me

and now you're lost

you know you're fighting in a losing battle

making a noose out of your hollow crown

i hold a match up to your paper castle

and watch it all burn down
