Death Can Take Me - Lorna Shore

If this is my crown, I am its slave
This is my kingdom I built upon a sandy shore
It's sinking deeper, still they're knocking at my door
Watching, waiting for me to break upon a throne of snakes
I won't let them in
I won't let them in
Enough
How the hell could I know I was their scapegoat?
Misdirection and woe
One day, I know I'll die alone

How cruel it is (It is), to suffer in silence?
Undiscovered, my eleventh hour
Is this what it takes to wear the crown of the king?
Is this living?
I'm starting to feel

The more we weep, the lesser suffer and cower
The less they see, the greater power
A king on the ivory tower

I will decide
With so much power comes veering eyes
Under the spotlight, we're devoured
The greatest lie is the lie we tell ourselves
As a means to an end, no one else can understand
How numbing it is to hide what makes us human
A throne of needles and blame, all for me
You only see what you want to believe

Blinded by faith (Faith), until it all crumbles in a moment
So I bare the burden
This is what it takes (Takes), to rule a kingdom of snakes
Is this living?
I'm starting to feel

The more we weep, the lesser suffer and cower
The less they see, the greater power
A king on the ivory tower

Death can take me
I don't want it
The weight of the fucking world
Watch as I crash down from the ivory tower
Pedestals crumble before the overwhelming judgement of the masses

Now, watch me hit the ground
Now, watch me hit the
Ground
I'm fucking sick of it
Masking, it's taxing me
You want to watch me fall
I pray I hit the ground
Hard enough so you can watch me die here
