King Me

  • I saw the world through the lens of a pinhole camera
    I saw nothing, I was blind
    In between a black hole and a super nova is where you’ll find me
    Imploding and expanding simultaneously
    No longer blind

    I’d been running away for so long
    When I finally caught myself there wasn’t much left
    The script’s last page is blank
    And the medicine is gone

    A sick monster, a twister of dark matter
    On a heavier trip than you can comprehend
    A tornado trying to mend the life it shattered
    Waiting for nothing to begin
    A flat line, my insides are turning out

    King me is killing me

    King me is killing me

    I keep walking past the places I was born in
    Now their faces are blank, shiny, and dead
    I don’t recognize a thing, I can’t recall them
    A closed book that I can never read again
    A flat line, my insides are turning out
    The lights fade, this final war starts now

    King me is killing me

    King me is killing me

    King me is killing me

    King me is killing me

    Killing me

    All of that is ending now for I have arisen
    Survived myself somehow, dead and imprisoned
    I’m fighting to live if I am to see the day
    I swear I’ll never sleep again
    I am no man’s slave

    I wanted the fog to lift but I was living in a cloud
    Nostalgia is grinding the life from today
    The present always dies in future memories
    And King me is killing me
    Cut wide open and bleeding to death for all to see

    King me is killing me

    King me is killing me

    King me is killing me

    King me is killing me

    He’s killing me
    He won’t kill me
    I won’t let him kill me
    He won’t kill me Writer/s: CHRIS ADLER, DAVID RANDALL BLYTHE, JOHN CAMPBELL, MARK MORTON, WILL ADLER
