Heavy Crown

from Angels Never Die by Mouse

about

This song had so many forms before working on it with Mun Sing. This is the first song we ever did together so it feels really special to me. His instrumentation is just so inventive and it feels completely different to anything else on the EP to me, even from ‘Pity Sex’ which we also did together.
Although it might sound like a breakup song, I wrote this and ‘Unladylike’ about the same person. The way I was treated in that situation opened a lot of people’s eyes so I was the catalyst for major changes in their environment. The instrumentation is so tense which is perfect for how I felt when I wrote it… before, this song existed as an EDM track and acoustically… nothing compares to this version and I’m so grateful Mun Sing got it there.

lyrics

Can you do it quick?
I don’t have time for this, got my business.
I’m in the thick of it
I saw it coming but you held the power it’s true when you,

Fly my out of London when I’m under the assumption you’ll be patient.
Didn’t know the urgency, you never tell me anything, I keep you waiting.

It’s such a heavy crown, choosing when to cut me out
It’s such a heavy crown, and you’d do it again to get into my head

If only I could read your mind, I would’ve saved myself ahead of time
It’s such a heavy crown, choosing when to cut me out
Boy you cut me

Can you meet my eye?
Don’t you feel any remorse or guilt, of course?
When I leave your side, I am the catalyst for you to reassess when

Fly my out of London when I’m under the assumption you’ll be patient.
Didn’t know the urgency, you never tell me anything, I keep you waiting.

It’s such a heavy crown, choosing when to cut me out
It’s such a heavy crown, and you’d do it again to get into my head

If only I could read your mind, I would’ve saved myself ahead of time
It’s such a heavy crown, choosing when to cut me out
Boy you cut me
