๐ Lyrics
If this is my crown
I am its slave
This is my kingdom I built upon a sandy shore
It's sinking deeper
Still they're knocking at my door
Watching, waiting for me to break
Upon a throne of snakes
I won't let them in
I won't let them in
How the hell could I know?
I was their scapegoat
Misdirection and woe
One day I know I'll die alone
How cruel it is
To suffer in silence
Undiscovered
My eleventh hour
Is this what it takes
To wear the crown of the king?
Is this living?
I'm starting to feel
The more we weep
The lesser suffer
And cower
The less they see
The greater power
A king on the ivory tower
I will decide
With so much power comes veering eyes
Under the spotlight we're devoured
The greatest lie is the lie we tell ourselves
As a means to an end
No one else can understand
How numbing it is to hide
What makes us human
A throne of needles and blame
All for me
You only see what you want to believe
No
Blinded by faith
Until it all crumbles
In a moment
So I bare the burden
This is what it takes
To rule a kingdom of snakes
Is this living?
I'm starting to feel
The more we weep
The lesser suffer
And cower
The less they see
The greater power
A king on the ivory tower
Death can take me
I don't want it
The weight of the fucking world
Watch as I crash down from the ivory tower
Pedestals crumble before the overwhelming judgement of the masses
Now watch me hit the ground
Now watch me hit the
Ground
I'm fucking sick of it
Masking, it's taxing me
You want to watch me fall
I pray I hit the ground
Hard enough so you can watch me die here
I am its slave
This is my kingdom I built upon a sandy shore
It's sinking deeper
Still they're knocking at my door
Watching, waiting for me to break
Upon a throne of snakes
I won't let them in
I won't let them in
How the hell could I know?
I was their scapegoat
Misdirection and woe
One day I know I'll die alone
How cruel it is
To suffer in silence
Undiscovered
My eleventh hour
Is this what it takes
To wear the crown of the king?
Is this living?
I'm starting to feel
The more we weep
The lesser suffer
And cower
The less they see
The greater power
A king on the ivory tower
I will decide
With so much power comes veering eyes
Under the spotlight we're devoured
The greatest lie is the lie we tell ourselves
As a means to an end
No one else can understand
How numbing it is to hide
What makes us human
A throne of needles and blame
All for me
You only see what you want to believe
No
Blinded by faith
Until it all crumbles
In a moment
So I bare the burden
This is what it takes
To rule a kingdom of snakes
Is this living?

And cower
The less they see
The greater power

Death can take me
I don't want it
The weight of the fucking world
Watch as I crash down from the ivory tower
Pedestals crumble before the overwhelming judgement of the masses
Now watch me hit the ground
Now watch me hit the
Ground
I'm fucking sick of it
Masking, it's taxing me
You want to watch me fall
I pray I hit the ground
Hard enough so you can watch me die here
