The King Is Dead
The knife or the rope or the lemon, this brain and sky
The sight of the drop got me off the roof
Hey, the garage looks cleaner when you look at it sideways from high
To finally admit we are born alone and that your only ones got
an only one of their own
Well get the right sun block for the nice explosions
Oh, the king is dead
To absolve the joy from me is to erase what made me a slave
Im a king to be
I traded my life for art and the guilt is weighing down my arms
Tell me again what a monster is give me the words to describe
Can you tell me what the use of endorphins is when my city dies at night?
Take away the sentence of house arrest and watch me ruin it right
Put me in the back of an ambulance cause my city dies tonight
I see the levity of every meeting of the minds
I lie to myself
Its my right to do
Im separated like an elevator door for privacy from my eyes
To finally admit we are born alone and that your only ones got
another robot to take the throne
Heartless of the world deny the king is dead
Fuck the king is dead
Heartless with your burning eyes
The king is dead
Fuck the king is dead
To wade through the virus of your lies is to cheat it through
Death is only in my eyes
And the sinking feeling came over me and it said never again, never again
The king is dead
Tell me again what a monster is cause my city dies tonight
