Rex

A man who would be king
Spoke unto me
I've fallen down, I've lost me crown
Can you bring it back to me?

I know I should have tried
To live out the lie
Can't you see it's not only me
You've taken my people's pride

Too many times I've seen you turn
and rule with blinded eyes
Too many times I've seen you push them away
to deny all their cries

I know what I've found
When children lie on the ground
You were vexed you had to flex
And keep your people down

It was the snow before the spring
You laid waste of everything
You could only show an angry glow
You had yourself a deadly fling

Too many times I've seen you stare
at loneliness with disbelief
Too many times I've seen you drunk
Languishing in all your grief

And I can't seem to find my way home
And I can't seem to find my way home

A man who would be king
Spoke unto me
Look around for my unholy crown
It keeps afflictions off of me

It's when he looked into my eyes
It was then he realized
I found the crown and I shoved it down
into his black heart to stop the lies

No longer can you turn them away
and rule with your blinded eyes
No longer can you push them away
And deny all of their cries

I'll wipe away all my fears I'm going home
Darlin' wipe away your tears I'm coming home
