Crown Yourself A King, Kill Yourself A Queen Lyrics

The relics of my long dead past
A black rose in constant bloom
No tears for my misfortune
This shadow
Heart no one intrudes
...And I've lived in my own way
These words I've lived to tell
When you knew you couldn't save me
To open arms or death you gave me

If my words open your eyes
Would that make this justified
I've been left behind

So why do we seek our tortures
Blind words of noble men
This opaque heart I curse
I've come so far now
The past I've left behind
These years of anguish left me hollow

If my words open your eyes
Would that make this justified
I've been left behind

If my words open your eyes
Would that make this justified
I've been left behind
If my words open your eyes
Would that make this justified
I've been left behind

You have crowned yourself a queen
Yet a pawn that you have made
I choke in the blackened waters
Amidst the waves

Alive we'll burn

If my words open your eyes
Would that make this justified
I've been left behind
If my words open your eyes
If my words open your eyes
If my words open your eyes

If my words open your eyes
If my words open your eyes
If my words open your eyes

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
