In Shambles
A reputation in shambles
Was it worth the gamble
When you paint the sky orange
Everyone knows
It's supposed to be blue
So who are you to decide otherwise
Just a counterfeit king
With questionable authority
And a facade of moral superiority
Is just the tip of the iceberg
Beyond the sky
Is a kingdom wrought with gold
But you sold your ticket
For a pocket of heartache
And a soul full of sorrow
You simple, simple boy
How it all fell apart so easily
And now you sit alone
At a table with only your thoughts
Each one declaring you a tyrant
Too trapped in his own hype
To see you lost it all
Was it worth the gamble
And a reputation in shambles
