Crown Jewel

I know you were scared
Wise men sold you lies
Mother didn't try
Ill-equipped to hold a heart

They say it's not polite
To speak up when it hurts
Or so you believed
And wept in solitude

I smell hope in the creases of the sheets you left behind
A broken set of keys
A kingdom in the sky

I know you were scared
It's hard to know you're wrong
To never fail again
You hang them from your walls
And even your crown jewel is tired of the pomp
Your mantle of debris cuts my eyes when they roll

I smell home in the creases of the sheets you left behind
A broken set of keys
A kingdom in the sky

A broken concert of ghosts
Haunt the doors that you closed
It's time to leave it alone
'Cause trust takes time to grow
The smoke from the pipe dreams you stoked
Haunt the doors that you closed
It's time to leave it alone
It's time
It's time

I know you were scared
I know you were scared

I smell home in the creases of the sheets you left behind
