King of the World

lyrics

Got me sitting in this different place of mind
Everything I'm doing leaves me way behind
Drugging up on bottles kinda makes me blind
I'm wasting time, sitting in this caged device
Ever since I made myself be living here
Knowing now that it's cause I'm filled with fear
Though I'm feeling everybody's hurtful drilling leers
Spinning gears
Sitting here, I'm still in tears
During high school I was teased and bullied
When I went home I cut my arm fully
No one ever asked if I was fucking harmed
Could he ever go back to the place
Where he was always down, pulling
Breaths from the space that was left in his chest
Detest all the rest
We're best now they're left in the dust
And you know that I must try forget
Coz I'm blessed with repent
And I'm sent to defend
I know that it hurt
And they know that it worked
Coz they left with a smirk
Now I'm left with rebirth
Coz I rose from the ground
Without making a sound
Though I'm drowning it out

Coz I am king of the world
And you will know my name
I am king of myself
And now I'm feeling sane
I'll defeat all these scars
Until my skin's the same
Colour as it was before
Before the hurt and shame

You gotta get given the power to save yourself
No matter how much you might want that razors help
But I hope you know that these blades can tell
That you've been sitting here thinking bout raising hell
Your mind's drawing lines
Making deals with demon's
Going against a god
That you don't believe in
Even though sometimes
You feel that you're dreaming
Try to hide that inside
You're screaming
Haunted by thoughts of the past
They lurk
Never go away coz they last
And they hurt
They're absurd
And you know that they're purpose is burnt
By the flames of their words
And the pains of their smirks
With a knife to the wrist
You can cut all the pain
Out of your mind
And out of your veins
Without a life you've got nothing to lose
But on the same page you've got nothing to gain
Yeah you've taken their shit
Yeah you've taken their hits
And yeah you've taken their spit
Go home with split lips
And bruised eyes that you tried
To disguise with lies
Hiding away when you'd sit and you'd cry
Coz you bury yourself
In all the sorrow and shame
But you gotta get back on your feet again
To show them that you've won
And not lost in the end
That you're the only one
On whom you can depend
And it hurts and it hurts
And it hurts worse, and it's worse
Than being stabbed in the back
A heartless attack, and it lacks
Justification
With endless suffocation
You can end this situation

Coz I am king of the world
And you will know my name
I am king of myself
And now I'm feeling sane
I'll defeat all these scars
Until my skin's the same
Colour as it was before
Before the hurt and shame
You were king of my mind
You led me to defeat
I am king of the blind
I'll lead them till they see
Coz I am king of the world
And you will know it's true
Coz I am king of the world
So who the fuck are you

All these lies
And all this pain
Is running through my veins
All these marks
And all these scars

Coz I am king of the world
And you will know my name
I am king of myself
And now I'm feeling sane
I'll defeat all these scars
Until my skin's the same
Colour as it was before
Before the hurt and shame
You were king of my mind
You led me to defeat
I am king of the blind
I'll lead them till they see
Coz I am king of the world
And you will know it's true
Coz I am king of the world
So who the fuck are you
