"Black Crown" lyrics

"Black Crown"

Nothing more than I can handle, nothing more than I can take
I've been adding up the numbers, got blueprints of the place
First, I saw it in a vision, then I saw it on her face
I rejected all my loved ones, re-assigned them different names

As we grew weary of those black clouds
Anticipating poison rain

And now you know what I've always known
I know, I know
I've always known
The worst is on its way

Now I have to do it over, retracing all my steps
I wish I told you that I loved you, but I locked you out instead
Now the ocean has no water, and the sky has lost a sun
No prize waits when we finish, there's no race left to run

Now we're weary of this black crown
Growing heavy on our heads
O'er the kingdom of the dead

And now you know what I've always known
I know, I know
I've always known
The worst is on its way
And the worst is on its way

When the whole world doubted me
I tried so hard to help them see
But when those visions came to be
Oh, it's your voice that's haunting me

And now you know what I've always known
I know, I know
I've always known
The worst is on its way

But when those visions came to be
Oh, it's your voice that's haunting me
