[Intro: Mike Shinoda]
Today was a very big day for us
A very fun day
It's not every day that you get to release a new song
I don't know how many hours we've given you to learn it
But did you learn it?
Dave hasn't learned it, so you guys gotta pick up the slack for Dave
Let's do it y'all!
It's called "Heavy Is The Crown"

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
It's pourin' 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
Tryin' to catch fire but feelin' so cold
Hold it inside and hope it don'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
'Causе I'm tired of explainin' what the jokе 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 bleedin' 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 its become
Outnumbered, ten to one
Back then should've bit your tongue
'Cause there's no turnin' back this path once it's begun
You're already on that list
Say what you want what you can't resist
Wavin' that sword when 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 bleedin' out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the
Heavy is the crown

[Bridge: Mike Shinoda]
Today's gonna be the day you notice
'Cause I'm tired of explainin' what the joke is

[Breakdown: Emily Armstrong]
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 bleedin' 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
