I’m The King

Take in the view from this throne
Sometimes I call this disaster a kingdom
The clouded curtains rise
And fate supplants the old surprise

I’m the king
I’ve got subjects but no verbs
I’ve got a thought
That ain’t a slave to any words
The safest place is tucked inside my heart
But even that can fall apart

Look at me on the throne
I’ve got it all except control
The insurrections rise
Sometimes this title owns me

I’m the king
I’ve got subjects but no verbs
I’ve got a thought
That ain’t a slave to any words
The safest place is tucked inside my heart
But even that can fall apart

Can fall apart
Can fall apart
Can fall apart

I once was king
Now I’m a subject with no verb
I had a thought
That’s now diluted with my words
The safest place is tucked inside my heart
But even that can fall apart
