No King

You become transparent when you’re held to the light Even at your worst I tried to make the wrongs right You pulled the wool over my eyes Sick of burning at both ends You push to break the bend Never someone I’ll defend Could’ve been should’ve been You say it was never supposed to be this way Built up to come crashing down with your name Could’ve been should’ve been You say it was never supposed to be this way Return to dust the same way that you came You should know better than anyone The past can never be undone Blank stares from the people you once knew Your downfall is overdue You’re no king A broken crown sits at your feet Pieces of what you used to be You only see what you want to see You become transparent when you’re held to the light I think it’s time you learn to take loss in stride and walk away from what’s mine Rock bottom and you’re falling faster every day You’ll find no compassion You’ll find no sympathy Return to dust the same way that you came There is no compassion No sympathy Return to dust the same way that you came You’re no fucking king
