Текст песни I Was a King - Former Vandal

If it's any consolation
I've taken your advice
You said breathe
Steady your feet
And work on sleeping without the lights
On the subject of seperation
It seems you're doing fine
You found friends who look better on your arm
And live life on your time
And that's just fine
And giving up
Is a skill I'm not familiar of
And the taste of blood on my tongue
When I wake up
Is a staple of this month
And I feel like nowhere
And it's nothing real
No it's nothing real anymore
It seems so important
But only while it's happening
Til it's gone
Til it's gone
On the subject of reparation
I think we're too far gone
So put to the cigarette to your lip and light it
And hope like hell that we die young
If you wonder how I'm doing
I'm the same as since you left
I'm still too intense and over sensistive
And live inside my head
I'm trying not to
And giving up
Is a skill I'm not familiar of
And the taste of blood on my tongue
When I wake up
Is a staple of this month
And I feel like nowhere
And it's nothing real
No it's nothing real anymore
It seems so important
But only while it's happening
Til it's gone
Til you wake up
In a parking lot
And you watch your hero fall apart
He says, "I was a king 'til they poisoned the throne, and they left me to die in my room all alone. Left my best lines to live at the tip of my tongue. Afraid of god finding out I was someone they'd known.

Was a king 'til they poisoned the throne, and they left me to die in my room all alone. Left my best lines to live at the tip of my tongue. Afraid of god finding out I was someone they'd known. Drink to the hope that each drop hits my lungs and I drown in the last thing that made me feel calm."
