Awoken on this day by the melody of a hush
This voice soothes as does its softest touch
Justice won't be done in speaking what I want to hear
Rather truth, self-evident, is what I've come to fear
Another day in the life of the bleak
Simplicity is the comfort I seek
Finalize routines, collapse again into debt
Certain standards for achievement must be met
Another day in the life of the bleak
Its the extreme comfort I seek
Collapsing again into debt
Certain standards for achievement must be met
A king without a country
A ship without a sea
A gun without a bullet
A statue I can't flee
All of this falls around me with a lack of gravity
The lights dim low, blacked out from the start
This stage comes into place, piece by lonely part
Distant our goal, yet within our reach
Beauty this rich a near impossible feat
Knees giving in to the state of pressure
Mounted on my back, the world, with no measure
Belittle, force, and flaunt our ideals
Till they counter with a collection of steals
Force and flaunt our ideals
Counter with a collection of steals
A king without a country
A ship without a sea
A gun without a bullet
A statue I can't flee
All of this falls around me with a lack of gravity
Another life
Another mind
Another hymn without a rhyme
Placed within the pages, between the lines
Faked for countless ages
Find them now
Painting their own hell
Find them laying with the enemy
Under a dark veil
Find them laying with the enemy
Painting their own hell
Find them laying with the enemy
Under a dark veil
A king without a country
A ship without a sea
A gun without a bullet
A statue I can't flee
All of this falls around me with a lack of gravity
A king without a country
Forgotten memory
A rose unplanted never grows to spread its seed
Step back
Question these analogies
To find yourself denying what you believe
