i'm starting to think the thoughts i shouldn't think
i think i think too much
i think that i forgot how to relax or just have fun
but all of my attempts have met success much more than i would guess
i guess that i might not be dead yet
(release P.M.)
i am the king, i've got my sons, i've got my swords, i've got my words
i've got the strength that i need to kill all my foes
the years go by, my eyes run dry
it's so hard to smile sometimes
i feel so alone upon this throne
all of this, i did for her
the treasure from the dragon's lair
the gold, the jewels, the castle, and the cat
so many say they're proud of me and i'm a good and honest king
but honestly it doesn't mean shit to me without her,
it doesn't mean shit to me without her.
'cause what's a king without his queen?
how much happiness can power bring?
i'd trade it all for a chance to fall in love again
when will i find a heart like mine?
a heart like hers, i want sometime
i try and try, i think i try too hard
can i repair all my despair?
can i hide how i feel inside, enough at least to make myself look half
alive?
what a king, what songs i sing, sad melodies and sorry things
i hope to bring a change in this one day
'cause what would people think of me, their melancholy, lonely king
that sings of such sad and sorry things
and all the while i look for smiles
and preach about the way we're gonna make this world into a better place
(heavy palm muting)
so maybe everything's alright
we'll stay up late riding our bikes, we'll talk until you have to go to
school
maybe i'm not broke so bad, just sing a song that's not so sad
am i the king or am i the fool?
(realease P.M.)
maybe i'm not broke so bad, just sing a song that's not so sad
am i the king or am i the fool?
