Broken Crown Lyrics

Cotton mouth in another town
I drank the river dry
Traveling with a broken crown
A demon passing by
I watched the blackbirds taking flight
Ashes in the wind
I lost them in the darkened night
And felt my spirit bend

(chorus)I'd scream right up to heaven, if I thought it'd do me good
I'd wash my hands of sin if I really thought I could
I'd speak my mind right now, if I had half a mind to give
I'd lay right down and die if I had ever really lived

I went and killed a man today
I watched him disappear
A broken hand sent him away
He was standing in the mirror
Was I born a wicked man
Broken from the start
Am I made of rusty tin
Did the lord forget my heart

(chorus)
The straight and narrow's twisted
but the fact it still remains
the line I walk is crooked
But I walk it just the same

I'd try to part your waters,
if I didn't think I'd drown
And I'd finally take a stand
if I wasn't laying down

(chorus)
