๐ Lyrics
I was elsewhere as usual minding my own again
News that the king set alight to his throne again
Holding his wrists to the flames to be whole again
And asking for me
Somehow, he thought he could dream his way out of here
Saying goodbye in his blood as he disappeared
Ah, but what would I do without you, my puppeteer?
You don't wanna know
I need a rethink
Part of the same curse
I know you took it all, a great deal worse
Go and tell father
I know you can't lie
Thinking that you're needed out
As am I, yeah
I want you to know that I'm fully responsible
It was I had the life that made you so uncomfortable
I was the one with the out-looking point of view
Traveling alone
Selfishly, I thought that you had forgotten me
That was the fuel for my drunken apology
Riding the wave of a blissful autonomy
I call it my own
I need a rethink
Part of the same curse
I know you took it all, a great deal worse
Go and tell father
I know you can't lie
Thinking that you're needed out
As am I
It's the end of the line, and no wonder I never knew
Got that gold bayonet handed down by a saint to you
Well, forgive me for thinking it was mine to take from you
Blind, now I see
I need a rethink
Part of the same curse
I know you took it all, a great deal worse
Go and tell father
I know you can't lie
Thinking that you're needed out
As am I
As am I
Take cover
We never could lie
Just like father
As am I
News that the king set alight to his throne again
Holding his wrists to the flames to be whole again
And asking for me
Somehow, he thought he could dream his way out of here
Saying goodbye in his blood as he disappeared
Ah, but what would I do without you, my puppeteer?
You don't wanna know
I need a rethink
Part of the same curse
I know you took it all, a great deal worse
Go and tell father
I know you can't lie
Thinking that you're needed out
As am I, yeah
I want you to know that I'm fully responsible
It was I had the life that made you so uncomfortable
I was the one with the out-looking point of view
Traveling alone
Selfishly, I thought that you had forgotten me
That was the fuel for my drunken apology
Riding the wave of a blissful autonomy
I call it my own
I need a rethink
Part of the same curse
I know you took it all, a great deal worse
Go and tell father
I know you can't lie
Thinking that you're needed out
As am I
It's the end of the line, and no wonder I never knew
Got that gold bayonet handed down by a saint to you
Well, forgive me for thinking it was mine to take from you
Blind, now I see
I need a rethink
Part of the same curse
I know you took it all, a great deal worse
Go and tell father
I know you can't lie
Thinking that you're needed out
As am I
As am I
Take cover
We never could lie
Just like father
As am I
