Kingdom
You tell me it’s easier
To see things in black and white
You think I make it too hard
Nothing’s easy when all I can do
Is see things through my eyes
A crumbling fortress
With faulty security
A broken levee and shaky foundation
The kingdom of me
You think there’s always time for words
When there’s nothing left to say
I say there’s no time living
‘Cause some part of us dies every day
A crumbling fortress
With faulty security
A broken levee and shaky foundation
The kingdom of me
You think you can just fly away
And soar up to Heaven
But as my wings decay
I just plummet to the bottom
Even with patched wounds
There are still leaks
A windowless penitentiary
The kingdom of me
