Call Me King - A Short Drop, A Sudden Stop lyrics
[Call Me King - A Short Drop, A Sudden Stop lyrics]
I’ve got a noose around my neck
But, you call it a tie
I live my life from your perspective
Hoping I will arrive
At some divine destination
Where my destiny stops running
I live my life in second person
So do I satisfy your standards?
Do my eyes reach too far?
Am I worthy of life?
Or should you just let me die?
Can you tell me my purpose?
What am I made for? I’m tired of lies
My life’s a second person story
Do you know just what I mean?
I’m captive to all your desires
My calling labelled as a dream
With no hope of coming true
I’m left with wishes unfulfilled
So come tell me of all my faults
And I will whisper "Peace, be still"
I’ve got a noose around my neck
But, you call it a tie
I live my life from your perspective
Hoping I will arrive
At some divine destination
Where my destiny stops running
I live my life in second person
A passenger to my own crimes
How quickly did you compromise your morals
When they set you on the throne?
And when they called out your weakness
Did it make you feel alone?
Did it eat at your insides
'Til you couldn't stand success?
And so you turned your hate
On those around you
And made us into empty things
I’ve got a noose around my neck
But, you call it a tie
I live my life from your perspective
Hoping I will arrive
At some divine destination
Where my destiny stops running
I live my life in second person
A passenger to my own crimes
You were walking in your garden filled
With wonders made of dirt
And you called upon your father who
Is lord below the earth
And he said "A screw has fallen
Or a bolt has slipped aside
Some little thing has shifted" And
The little things replied:
I will shut my heart against you and
You will not find the spring
I who will the thing I want not
The intolerable thing
I prefer my empty stomach to your empty
Barren head
Earth and heaven both fall silent
I am stronger than death call me king
I’ve got a noose around my neck
But, you call it a tie
I live my life from your perspective
Hoping I will arrive
At some divine destination
Where my destiny stops running
I live my life in second person
A passenger to my own crimes
But, you call it a tie
I live my life from your perspective
Hoping I will arrive
At some divine destination
Where my destiny stops running
I live my life in second person
So do I satisfy your standards?
Do my eyes reach too far?
Am I worthy of life?
Or should you just let me die?
Can you tell me my purpose?
What am I made for? I’m tired of lies
My life’s a second person story
Do you know just what I mean?
I’m captive to all your desires
My calling labelled as a dream
With no hope of coming true
I’m left with wishes unfulfilled
So come tell me of all my faults
And I will whisper "Peace, be still"
I’ve got a noose around my neck
But, you call it a tie
I live my life from your perspective
Hoping I will arrive
At some divine destination
Where my destiny stops running
I live my life in second person
A passenger to my own crimes
How quickly did you compromise your morals
When they set you on the throne?
And when they called out your weakness
Did it make you feel alone?
Did it eat at your insides
'Til you couldn't stand success?
And so you turned your hate
On those around you
And made us into empty things
I’ve got a noose around my neck
But, you call it a tie
I live my life from your perspective
Hoping I will arrive
At some divine destination
Where my destiny stops running
I live my life in second person
A passenger to my own crimes
You were walking in your garden filled
With wonders made of dirt
And you called upon your father who
Is lord below the earth
And he said "A screw has fallen

I live my life from your perspective
Hoping I will arrive
At some divine destination
Where my destiny stops running
I live my life in second person
A passenger to my own crimes
