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 🙂

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