Crown of Thorns
Verse
I want to run, I want to hide
From what I am inside.
I don’t know why I live a lie.
Why part of me has died.
Pre chorus
Loathing and self-pity
Dig in beneath my skin.
It’s a war of control
Neither of us can win.
Chorus
Crown of thorns, crown of thorns
My war is with me.
Crown of thorns, crown of thorns
My war is with me.
Verse
I want to laugh, I want to smile
Face down my denial.
I don’t know why, I don’t know why.
I put myself on trial.
Pre chorus
Loathing and self-pity
Dig in beneath my skin.
It’s a war of control
Neither of us can win.
Chorus
Crown of thorns, crown of thorns
My war is with me.
Crown of thorns, crown of thorns
My war is with me.
Bridge
There’ll be no forgiveness.
No end to this war.
Not as long as I wear
wear this crown of tho

You write a lot of great lyrics, Carroll, but every so often you deliver a clunker LOL. This falls into the category of non-specific downer. I can't imagine why anyone would want to sing a song with the line "Loathing and self-pity" in it. Don't let MAB see this or he'll lecture you about negative songs until your ears ring.
You could try giving us a reason why the singer feels this way, or you could just forget about this one.
I'm still a fan 🙂
I may or may not be an enigma

Thanks for the honesty. I'm struggling with writers block. A drowning man grasping at straws.
