lyrics

Every king I've ever known
Has already been dethroned
I don't wanna be alone
So won't you let me go

Tell me why I should do anything
When I've chosen to destroy it all

I can't believe this place
Somebody slap my face
I never knew that I would
Get so damn old

I'm all alone up here
My most successful year
I'll fall in love with the next chair I sit in

See how high I've built my tower
Hey

I can't believe I'm rich
Check my gold-plated ditch
Now watch these giant rats do a dance for me

You wanna be like me
I'm fuckin' royalty
I'll lord it over you until I jump out of this window

Every king I've ever known
Has already been dethroned
I don't wanna be alone
So won't you let me go
I want to
Die where I stand
I want to
Die where I stand
I want to
Die where I stand
I want to
Die

Never wanted to be anything
But loved

While none of that is true
I hope it works on you
It's strictly forbidden to know who I am

All that I say's a farce
It gets so hard to parse
How is it possible that they still buy it
You all buy it still

Every king I've ever known
Has already been dethroned
I don't wanna be alone
So won't you let me go
I want to
Die where I stand
I want to
Die where I stand
I want to
Die where I stand
I want to
Die

Every king I've ever known
Has already been dethroned
I don't wanna be alone
So won't you let me go
