regicide (demo)

First you get the crown, then you figure out

Aint nobody give a shit

They would rather follow kings to the ground

Than show their respect to a prince

 

I guess that's what you get for being from royalty

Tear me to shreds when I speak with authority

All of my breathren out here tryna poison me

Where is their eloquence? Where is their loyalty?

 

We been pretending that God is the way

For the sake of our riches, our sons and our reign

But im one and the same with the infinite

Isnt it great to be raised in a system of hate for the system

 

the symptom of faith over wisdom

is pain in the face of what we can explain

I wish for a nation who takes what theyre given

And doesn't fall prey to the game

 

But I'm a little late

Guess I got a lot up on my plate

tryna teach em all how to behave

Part of me is sayin'

Leave em at the bottom of the lake

if they wanna they can wander down to hades

 

But I'ma be a great king

Show em our mistakes and disgrace these

You'll never be depraved of the tasty

You'll never be slaves and you'll never be made to embrace me

I'm here for your sake and your safety

 

I know that you hate me thats fine, see Im wasting your time

with the whos and the whats and the why mes

You dont wanna try being right you're alive

but the whites of your eyes gleam

bright in your pipe dream

 

You dont wanna fight these wars for the right things

You just wanna sleep at night with your guilt

Even when theyre wrong you decide

that the songs of desciples

are worth every cross that they built

 

We been pretending that God is the way

For the sake of our riches, our sons and our reign

But im one and the same with the infinite

Isnt it great to be raised in a system of hate for the system

 

the symptom of faith over wisdom

is pain in the face of what we can explain

I wish for a nation who takes what theyre given

And doesn't fall prey to the game

 

I dont want to hurt you but you're

wrong

wrong

You don't truly know yourself at all

all

You think you can hide behind these walls

walls

Hope you learn your lesson when they fall

fall

 

First you get the crown

Then you figure out

Every king has gotta die

They would rather send a king to the ground

Than admit that their life is a lie

 

What was rightfully mine

was then given to God mixed

my blood with the wine

As a symbol of progress

What a divine little wonderful project

stickin a knife in the gut of the conflict

 

I never wanted this

Y'all disagree

But it's me in the coffin

and y'all in the streets

So do what you want

I'm not part of this scene

No love for the father

No God in my dreams

 

see im hardly extreme

im an artist who grieves at the toxic

achievments they carry with pride

but if their need for a teacher exceeds me

ill either be beaten

or buried alive

 

We been pretending that God is the way

For the sake of our riches, our sons and our reign

But im one and the same with the infinite

Isnt it great to be raised in a system of hate for the system

 

the symptom of faith over wisdom

is pain in the face of what we can explain

I wish for a nation who takes what theyre given

and doesnt fall prey to a king
