v1

Sometimes, we have to fall behind

to see what we've done with our wasted time
you cant define, a man, til you look inside
and see what he sees through his pain filled eyes


these skies, there so dark and cloudy
i lie, nowthe vultures surround me

i try, to just let them eat me
the more that they take, the more they complete me


it aint easy, being sick within
when the worms are born from your own damn skin
when your torn from wings and your told to fly

when you know if you try, you are bound to die

but i will rise, like smoke out the lungs

im so high, but im down in the dumps
ive thrown my punches and ive taken my bumps
but enough is enough, enough is enough


Chorus


I've been...I've been places you haven't
I've been in pain that you cant imagine
I've been a king, and I've been a savage

I've been a king, and i've been a savage




I say, i want to help you all
But when i hear you call, i just watch you fall

im too busy being me, a piece of history
i just want you to remember me, even in catastrophe


i know it aint right, thats why i paint white
walls and i stare til the day straight turns night
cuz with these white walls, i still see light

but as the paint chips, The blood seems right

Im still the monster i created on that day

i put my own damn name in a shallow $#&@in grave
i pulled my own damn cord and im not playing a game
the respirator finally stopped and im fading away


i feel my ghost pierce, skin deep
im in deep, i see the fires (Fire) burn heaps

bodies stacked, infact, i know em all by name
I call him Dekay, I call him Dekay




Chorus


I've been...I've been to places you haven't
I've been in pain that you cant imagine

I've been a king, and I've been a savage
I've been a king, and i've been a savage



break


I just wanna be something special
new, grrr grrr something unlike you
I just wanna see, my own page in our history

I hope it never comes down to it...but I promise you will remember me




I am the one, with the loaded gun
It takes a lunatic, to turn it on a lower one

now im over one, standing, threatening, heckleing
straight jacket on alone the demon beckoning


this is my reckoning, infecting while disecting him
trekking in, on a journey most would find a wreck within
i look inside my mind to find what ill improve upon
but then i lose it all, i just lose it all


Chorus

I've been...I've been to places that you haven't
I've been in pain that you cant imagine
I've been a king, and I've been a savage

I've been a king, and i've been a savage
