Hollow Crown (from "For The Throne" compilation)

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, down, down
Down, down, 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, 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, down, down
Down, down,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, 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, down, down
Down, down, down
