We built these walls just to watch them fall We worship kings that we've never even seen Trading our sunlight for a flicker of the light Doing exactly what we're told I see the ink running dry on the page Another actor on a crumbling stage The wind is picking up speed Ignoring everything we need We're all wearing fake crowns Waiting for the rain to come and wash us down High above the world, but we're standing on the ground Breaking every single pledge In a kingdom made of sand In the hollow of our hand The borders are bleeding, the lines have been blurred We're shouting for mercy but nobody's heard You sell us the cure while you spread the disease Bringing a nation to its knees The throne is a shadow, the scepter is cold Just like the stories we were sold We're all wearing fake crowns Waiting for the rain to come and wash us down High above the world, but we're standing on the ground We're all wearing fake crowns Waiting for the rain to come and wash us down High above the world, but we're standing on the ground Heavy is the head Heavy is the head Bring me back He... He-heavy is the head Bring me back to life
