Broken Crown Lyrics

by Mumford & Sons

Touch my mouth and hold my tongue
I'll never be your chosen one
I'll be home, safely tucked away
You can't tempt me if I don't see the day

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e102851-mumford_and_sons~broken_crown_lyrics.html ]
The pull on my flesh was just too strong
It stifled the choice and the air in my lungs
Better not to breathe than to breathe a lie
Cause when I open my body I breathe alive

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 'til the sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
I took the road and I f*cked it all away
In this twilight, how dare you speak of grace

So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
I took the road and I f*cked it all away
In this twilight, how dare you speak of grace

So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
I can take the road and I can f*ck it all away
But in this twilight, our choices seal our fate
