Broken Crown

Mumford And Sons · Babel [2012]

Well touch my mouth and hold my tongue

I'll never be your chosen one

I'll be home safe and tucked away

Well you can't tempt me if I don't see the day



The pull on my flesh was just too strong

Stifled the choice and the air in my lungs

Better not to breathe than to breathe a lie

Cos when I open my body I breathe a lie



I will not speak of your sin

There was a way out for him

The mirror shows not

Your values are all shot



But oh, my heart was flawed

I knew my weakness

So hold my hand consign me not to darkness



So crawl on my belly till the sun goes down

I'll never wear your broken crown



I took the road and I fucked it all away

Now in this twilight how dare you speak of grace



So crawl on my belly till the sun goes down

I'll never wear your broken crown

I took the road and I fucked it all away

Now in this twilight how dare you speak of grace



So crawl on my belly till the sun goes down

I'll never wear your broken crown

I can take the road and I can fuck it all away

But in this twilight our choices seal our fate
