Lyrics
King
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Take me away from the girls and the boys
Smother my ears, help me shut out the noise
'Cause all I wanna do is run away from me
Far and beyond from what I wanted to be
'Cause I pray for the day I could never be found
Another voice in my head is making terrible sounds
Saying: Throw out the cash and the money that you earn
Go back to the ash of the books that you burned, yeah
If I could have it all I could be king
Instead of hear the noise in everything
If I could have it all I could be king
Last night I was drinking like a man that was trying to drown
But I wasn't sinking, I was swimming myself
Straight for the ground
Falling apart when there's no one around, woah
I got so sick, so sick
No sign of anyone, so lay it on thick
I got no medicine
If I could have it all I could be
I could be your motherfucking king
Instead of hear the noise in everything
If I could have it all I could be king
Instead of hear the noise in everything
If I could have it all I could be king
Why don't you see me dying?
If I could have it all I could be king
Why don't you see me dying?
Instead of hear the noise in everything
Why don't you see me dying?
Don't wanna be what runs under my skin
If I could have it all I could be
