King Of Nowhere

[Verse 1]
I call myself the king of nowhere
Least of all the mind I dwell
But if I could choose one dominion
I’d shack up in some shit motel

I’d gather all my loyal subjects
Of half spun chords and loose ideas
And mold them into a perfect people
A magnum opus of mass appeal

[Chorus]
Do you see
What’s killing me
May actually keep me alive?

[Verse 2]
I am just the faint reminder
Of a love so simple to forget
So when you strike up conversation
I tell you that I’m not there yet

I hold that the word forgiveness
Means I could nevеr live without
So I would rather hold my grudges
Than spеnd a life consumed by doubt

[Chorus]
Do you see
What’s killing me
May actually keep me alive?
What’s done is done
A setting sun
Has no obligation to rise

[Verse 3]
I can’t spot a violet in a bed of roses
For that I blame my eyes
I See an open door
Another one is closing
Between them is wasted time

I was raised to bury boxes
Within which all my troubles lay
I held on to one labeled anger
I view its contents every day

I am but a lamprey dining
An blood so sweet it rots my spine
Years spent serving false devotion
It means as much as cheap goodbyes

[Chorus]
Do you see
What’s killing me
May actually keep me alive?
What’s done is done
A setting sun
Has no obligation to rise
Has no obligation to rise
Has no obligation to rise
