### **Linkin Park, 'Heavy Is the Crown' Lyrics**

> **\[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda\]**  
> It's pouring in, you're laid on the floor again  
> One knock at the door and then  
> We both know how the story ends  
> You can't win if your white flag's out when the war begins  
> Aimin' so high, but swingin' so low  
> Tryna catch fire, but feelin' so cold  
> Hold it inside, hope it won't show  
> I'm sayin' it's not, but inside I know  
>  
> **\[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong\]**  
> Today's gonna be the day you notice  
> 'Cause I'm tired of explaining what the joke is  
>  
> **\[Chorus: Emily Armstrong\]**  
> This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown  
> Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' down  
> Try to hold it in, but it keeps bleeding out  
> This is what you asked for, heavy is the—  
> Heavy is the crown  
>  
> **\[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong\]**  
> Turn to run, now look what it's become  
> Outnumbered, ten to onе  
> Back then, should've bit your tongue  
> Thеre's no turnin' back this path once it's begun  
> You're already on that list  
> Say you don't want what you can't resist  
> Waving that sword but the pen won't miss  
> Watch it all fallin' apart like this  
>  
> **\[Chorus: Emily Armstrong\]**  
> This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown  
> Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' down  
> Try to hold it in, but it keeps bleeding out  
> This is what you asked for, heavy is the—  
> Heavy is the crown  
>  
> **\[Bridge: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong\]**  
> Today is gonna be the day you notice  
> 'Cause I'm tired of explainin' what the joke is  
> This is what you asked for  
>  
> **\[Chorus: Emily Armstrong\]**  
> This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown  
> Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' down  
> Try to hold it in but it keeps bleeding out  
> This is what you asked for, heavy is the—  
> Heavy is the crown  
>  
> **\[Outro: Emily Armstrong\]**  
> Heavy is the crown  
> Heavy is the—  
> Heavy is the crown
