Lyrics:
My life is like a king
That sounds egotistical, I guess
But I swear I’m only pretty cool at best
And I swear, I always thought that kings never had a time or place to rest their heads
From the moment they wake up to the moment they sleep
Their face remains stoic for the image that they keep
And at night do I break with the kings or is it just me
The latter is depressing, yet it grounds us in reality
And late at night do kings beg to cry
Because the burden of their lives have made their tears run dry
Do they pray to God like me, “please help, I’m terrified”
And does He just stay silent in the sky
And I can’t be alone in this
And I pity the kings who have to be alone in this
Because I know that when they reach out they lose their facade
And they realise they’re truly human all along
My life is like a king
I’m up here in silk robes and fancy rings
But I’d trade nobility for peasantry
In an instant
If I knew what hells waited for me
On the other side of my ego, woe is me
My life is like a king
I’m up here in silk robes and fancy rings
But I’d trade nobility for peasantry
In an instant
If I knew what hells waited for me
On the other side of my ego, woe is me
My life is like a king
And to me humanity is scary
It makes me feel weak it shows the real me
The real me that lives inside my head
The real me, they sit in a corner of my mind while my body runs free
And then they come out when I’m sitting in bed
And I’d like to think that kings feel the same
Because in some selfish way I want someone to feel my pain
Because I hate being alone I need someone to tell me it’s okay
I need someone that feels the same that I do every single day
So until then I’m in my mind
I hide inside my mind
Like a king’s country it’s vast and wide
And when I’m with other people I’m walking on eggshells like there’s landmines
Because to me opening up is a crime
And vulnerability is a weakness
So I meet people with a cold stare, unwavering eyes
And at night I try to cry but all I can get is a sigh
Because for some reason God hates me, but I could’ve sworn I was baptized
So, my life is like a king
If people see
That he’s a real person tied to his humanity
They’ll look at him in a way so painful to me, he
