Lyrics
Kings
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.
What the hell do you want from me
Is it this you want to see
That I will fleet from all that is inside of me
Is it this what you want, man
Is it this what want to be
A childhood’s grave, that’s what I’ll be
What do you want from me
My faith in the hands of destiny
You escape, I escape from what I’ll be
I dream about the peace
I which we together should have been
And I laugh, a little lie for a bit more sympathy
I will wear this burning shame
And all I’ve done, another lie for a bit more sympathy
Yes, I will wear this
What the fuck do you want from me
Is it this what I have been
The child is dead in me
And it’s grave is what I’ll be
So what do I want now
Is it this what I will be
Can someone save me
Can someone save me from me
Can someone save me, save me from me
Can I save you from me
