“Crown” is a song inspired by the character of Bree Matthews from The Legendborn Cycle by Tracy Deonn. “Crown” explores the internal conflict Bree feels about being a scion of Arthur in that society that doesn’t accept her.
[Verse 1]
Falling, fighting
It's not surreal, it's frighting
I know you can't find me
In After-Bree, I'm hiding
I'm chasing after you
Mortal made, bound by root
Mesmer me, but I'll always break through
[Chorus]
Chasing for answers while oathbound
Wanting a place, wanting to be found
I am afraid but won't make a sound
I'll pick up the crown
[Verse 2]
Trying, failing
The demons keep prevailing
Know there's more I'm fated for
Than this endless pain unveiling
[Pre-Chorus]
Thrown into a world I didn't know
I know I don't belong, but I can't let them go
[Chorus]
Chasing for answers while oathbound
Wanting a place, wanting to be found
I am afraid but won't make a sound
I'll pick up the crown
[Bridge]
Lying, but I was too in it for you
Hiding from myself and from the truth
I wasn't ready to lose
But now I have to choose
What I needed the most was you
[Chorus]
Chasing for answers while oathbound
I wanted a place, needed to be found
I can't be afraid, not with you around
I'll pick up the crown
Chasing for answers while oathbound
I wanted a place, now I feel so found
No longer afraid, no need to escape
I'll stand my ground
For you
I'll pick up the crown
