lyrics

Can I pawn my heart's sorrow
Is there some love that I could borrow
I swear I'll give it back one day

Just need to find my heart's glow
Where it escaped
I don't know
It went searching for my soul
But it faded
When got stomach-low
It got scared

Nothing sacred, nothing sweet
Just a rotten wheel I'm trying to keep
When hyenas come crawling out
It's hard to spot a spark in the dark

Beauty it's hard to see
When all you feel is a need
And eyes just roll around
Glued to the ground
There's just concrete
No more gold lying around

Just you with your worn-down crown
It's not of a king
It's of a clown
