Grieves - Kings lyrics
[Grieves - Kings lyrics]
I drink the cloudy city rainwater
You can never save my soul
Painted glass on my stomach and I
Don't break it for no one, go
Your blood runs like a river
When your back's turned
And hope don't float when it's
Choking on it's last words
Word, which one would you
Use to describe this
I'm sick of fighting everyone
Around me for silence
Sick of trying to get by
Inside of your silly blinded
Vision of what you though life
Was before you dived in
Take a look at me I'm
Picking through my last meal
Heading to the gallows with a smile
On my cracked grill and that's real
You can keep your little rap deals
Cause, I don't give a damn about
Being king of any crap hill
Stop, and let it fall where the chips land
And take the earth from underneath your
Fragile pride and kick stand, so
When it all clears and the
Rain clouds fade you can
Sleep with the rest of the
Skeletons in their grave
This city
(yeah) it's really got a hold on you
This city
(yeah) it's really got a hold on you
You don't need to fight me off
I'm well on my way
Gonna leave these cobblestones
And matchsticks in the back of my brain
I learned that you don't have a single
Word left that you can say
Better make me quiver when you wave it
Like a knife in my face your king is dead
You can cherish these bricks all day
But not a single one will ever get
You outta here and take you away
You want a throne that can never be claimed
But standing there looking like another
Drone that lost his way
So take the broken crown off
Bowing in a kingdom full of fools gold
Searching for a diamond in a
Pile full of bruised hopes
You're looking at me through those
Tiny little two holes
That lie to you and force you to
Be blinded when the truth shows
Yeah, I guess I'm nothing but a blood drop
That fell out of your last
Black listed number one spot
Coagulate me, I'm ready to be released and
Outta your palms like the
Burgundy powdered breeze, how poetic
You all want change but won't let it
Get a breath of any answer till you
Decided it was ready to breathe
Believe me, that's the nature of the beast
Break his little legs and watch
It try to flee
Watch it hobble out your awful line of reach
Turn around and pull the
Cotton out it's mouth
And pour it's heart out in the streets
And when all of this is over
You can sharpen up your teeth
Just to smile in
The mirror while the rest of you depletes
This city
(yeah) it's really got a hold on you
This city
(yeah) it really ate a hole through you
You don't need to fight me off
I'm well on my way
Gonna leave these cobblestones
And matchsticks in the back of my brain
I learned that you don't have a single
Word left that you can say
Better make me quiver when you wave it
Like a knife in my face your king is dead
You can never save my soul
Painted glass on my stomach and I
Don't break it for no one, go
Your blood runs like a river
When your back's turned
And hope don't float when it's
Choking on it's last words
