lyrics

To be crowned king of a kingdom of cowards
Could be a nightmare that drains you for hours
To run through life with a social disease gone sour
Could make you feel like you're ruling a world with no power
Over yourself

I'll write myself this letter
And set the answers free
Explain the things we did
It's black and white to me
And in time we'll figure out what it is we'll be
Dedicated or separated and in the end you'll see

All this time
I bit my tongue and you still heard your cries
Body language is a dialect that you can’t miss
So I'm diving deeper and falling faster in my own abyss
All this time
And it's killing me
And it's killing me

I'll write myself this letter
And set the answers free
Explain the things we did
It's black and white to me
And in time we'll figure out what it is we'll be
Dedicated or separated and in the end you'll see

The ink in my pen is for all the thieves
Please don't underestimate all my sincerity
Amidst this love and hate you kept me pure and clean
And blessed us with a gift heavier than gravity
And it's killing me
And it's killing me
And it's killing me

I'll write myself this letter
And set the answers free
Explain the things we did
It's black and white to me
And in time we'll figure out what it is we'll be
Dedicated or separated
It's black and white it's black and white it's black and white to me
