Verse
I'm a man made of lies and disorder.
A broken soul they would say
lost and contorted.
Fully distorted.
I could've been, I should've been, I would've been
Anything to change this time.
Well in my mind I swear that I'm kind.
Oh I can say the sweetest things can't I?
But I know and you know and they know oh hell
everybody knows what I really am inside.
Chorus
I can feel my head exploding.
Oh you know, you know I'll never change.
Right beneath, the ground's eroding.
Oh I know, I know I'll never be.
Can't you see that I'm not crazy?
Oh you know, you know I'll never change.
Please don't leave me so forsaken.
Oh I know, I know I'll never be forgiven.
Verse
I'm a man of dishonour and greed.
A blackened heart they would say.
Stained and misguided.
Morally collided.
I could've said, I should've said, I would've said.
Anything to change your mind.
I swear on my life, I've seen the light.
Oh I've really come around haven't I?
But I see and you see and they see, well, hell.
Everybody sees what I really am inside.
Chorus
I can feel my head exploding.
Oh you know, you know I'll never change.
Right beneath, the ground's eroding.
Oh I know, I know I'll never be.
Can't you see that I'm not crazy?
Oh you know, you know I'll never change.
Please don't leave me so forsaken.
Oh I know, I know I'll never be forgiven.
Bridge
Light my soul on fire watch me burn, down.
The devil made a town in my name.
The score is settled, I lost the game.
So let me burn.
I Never knew who I was 'till Satan called me, "Son"

Verse
Wake up, grey curtains on a blank wall, staring endlessly.
Weighs on my mind.
Time, after time, after time;
I'm waiting for a better day, couldn't find my hope in a better way,
Why did I change my mind?
Line, after line, after line.
I'll never be anyone else.
Chorus
Who'll break my soul and bring me down again.
I've lost my crown to better days.
I'm holding on.
Who'll break my soul and bring me down again.
Verse 2
Was a time, if I remember; couldn't feel all this goddamn pressure.
It's on my hands.
I know I overcomplicate, these things that just don't go away.
I can't decide if it's too late.
They say that ignorance is bliss but I'm not buying it.
Hate me if you want but I'm more of a pessemist.
Can't change my, can't change my mind.
I'll never be anyone else.
Chorus

If I Were King

Verse
If I were king, sat on that throne.
Royal blood, royal bones.
I’d be home, staff in hand,
Regal gowns of valiance.
All the land; my own.
Its souls: mine to hold.
Oh my praise, you would sing.
If I were king.
If I were king, I’d rein supreme.
Only the sun’s power succeeds.
The bards and the bastards, the peasants,
the pastors would sing my name. Sing my name!
I’m a man of magnificence, truly benevolent.
A man worthy of Godly imply.
Oh the scribes would write this.
If I were king.
Chorus
Oh let the war rage on.
As we storm; fathers and sons.
Into the waves, trample our graves,
We’re martyrs, they say.
For country and King,
The men, they all sing.
proclaiming aloud, the death they will bring.
Blissfully blinded, how sad, how final their fate.
Verse 2
If I were king, I’d be God.
I’d be death, destroyer of all.
An illustrious image of kingly renown.
My presence alone could silence a town.
The dukes and the jesters, the thane, and the lancers
would fear my name, fear my name!
My wrath is distinguished, I’m fucking majestic.
Oh, Lord.
If I were king.
Part 2
Oh the clouds blacken with death,
The air, thicker than blood, we stand our ground.
You can feel it, in your bones, chaos rings deep in our souls.
Rage on!
Pray for victory, or give us death.
Chorus
Verse 3
If I were king, I’d be home
Not alone dying and cold.
I’d be more than a pawn.
Left to rot, trampled and strewn.
I’d have love, I’d be free.
I would live endlessly.
(I’d) have no fear for anything.
If I were king.

Fool's Gold (Ep Version)
05:03
|

|
As the dust settles beneath my feet.
Regret hangs like a leach, as I stand on this cold hard ground.
As you go, Loneliness fills my bones, I've never been so alone, I suppose that's how these things turn out.
But I'm holding on, as the sun falls down.
I watch it die.
My love left me in the bitter wind.
All I know is sung and sold.
I've been lost, ever since she let me in.
All she left was fool's gold.
That dust is long past settled dirt, the field once grass now burnt, an aging tale of time once bright and thriving.
I stand, as narratives reach their end, the monologue stretched so thin my words no longer lend a meaning.
But I'm holding on as the sun falls down.
I watch it die.
My love left me in the bitter wind.
All I know is sung and sold.
I've been lost, ever since she let me in.
All she left was fool's gold. (x2)
Time can't heal my wounds.
Forgotten words what I cling to.
The seasons have made their rounds.
I've burnt these bridges down, all down, all down.
My love left me in the bitter wind,
All I know is sung and sold.
I've been lost, ever since she let me in.
All she left was fool's gold. (x2)

Call me if you need me, that's why I'm alive.
But if you're so sure that I wanted more then all you have to do is ask.
Believe me if you want to, trust me if you can.
But it's hard to know when you throw away the past.
Take my wisdom, pick my mind, don't fall short to foolish lies.
It's easy to try, harder to fail,man you gotta listen to me.
Moving on is one way to deal with everything you've done wrong.
But sometimes, losing time to pointless minds is more of the problem.
But you've got your mind set in stone your high on losing love.
Its alright to be your own but live under control.
Take your time to ease your mind you know, it's all ensured.
And hold your head up high.
Listen to these words, I'll sing them out for you.
It's not too hard to change your life just get up and walk away.
Now it might sound too easy it might be insane but you've gotta live a life that you can look back and say.
I'm glad I went through it, I'm glad I'm okay, wouldn't have it any other way.
But you've gotta know, how to take things slow, and hold your mind before your sold, your life is more than growing old.
