No King

You become transparent when you’re held to the light
Even at your worst I tried to make the wrongs right
You pulled the wool over my eyes
Sick of burning at both ends
You push to break the bend
Never someone I’ll defend

Could’ve been should’ve been
You say it was never supposed to be this way
Built up to come crashing down with your name

Could’ve been should’ve been
You say it was never supposed to be this way
Return to dust the same way that you came

You should know better than anyone
The past can never be undone
Blank stares from the people you once knew
Your downfall is overdue

You’re no king
A broken crown sits at your feet
Pieces of what you used to be
You only see what you want to see

You’re no king
A broken crown sits at your feet

You become transparent when you’re held to the light
I think it’s time you learn to take loss in stride and walk away from what’s mine
Rock bottom and you’re falling faster every day
You’ll find no compassion
You’ll find no sympathy

You should know better than anyone
The past can never be undone
Blank stares from the people you once knew
Your downfall is overdue

You’re no king
A broken crown sits at your feet
Pieces of what you used to be
You only see what you want to see

Return to dust the same way that you came
There is no compassion
No sympathy
No sympathy

Return to dust the same way that you came
You’re no fucking king
