Somewhere dark

Before the sun comes up

Where the blinds are closed

And the doors are shut.

I reduce you to the rubble in the bottom of my car

Till I cannot tell the poison from the pain.

Somewhere, dawn

The stores are closed, out by the beach

I could spray paint your name

No one would see.

I reduce you to the poison in the bottom of my car

Till it washes all my worries out to sea.

And my demons

That got so bored of dreamin'

My demons

Alcohol and freedom

A king without a queen

A king without a kingdom.

I was so bad on my own

Drawing maps inside my soul to places nobody goes

Woke up confused, just staring at my telephone

Waiting like I'd ever hear your voice again.

I feel light, empty, low

Sometimes it is so jagged

I don't know what love is for.

Alone like I don't know how to survive

And insane

Till I cannot tell the poison from the pain.

I used to think that you were me

Pretending every sentence from your mouth was melody

A tune so turbulent that it cracked open every key

Till everything was broken that I played.

Your father stood and cried

On the day your brother married

Someone that he could rely on.

No one could heal his heart

Whoever made you cry

So I became the poison and the pain.

And my demons

They got so bored of dreamin'

Demons

Alcohol and freedom

A king without a queen

A king without a kingdom

A king without a queen

A king without a kingdom.
