Kingdom Down

lyrics by: Kieran Johnston
Written on Jun 05, 2018

I was on my throne 
A gold crown turned to bone
I fairytale gone dark
Now it’s crystal clear
That what you did to me
It was always so near
I was lost at sea

I wish I was told
What I was told now
Never have gone close
Never let you have a hold
The light was so bright
When you let go
I walked into a plight

I made it through this far
I can make it all the way
I’m leaving this crumbling castle
I’m gonna stay away
kingdom down

It’s not like Lego parts
You can’t just build it up
After you let it fall apart
I won’t let anyone complete myself
Now I have to build again
Make a little den
And not pretend
I’ve not been hurt
This is the end
I will not befriend

I wish I was told
What I was told now
Never have gone close
Never let you have a hold
The light was so bright
When you let go
I walked into a plight

I made it through this far
I can make it all the way
I’m leaving this crumbling castle
I’m gonna stay away
kingdom down

Windows shattering
Front doors caving in
Walls are making it hard to breath
Scotch tape and superglue
Can’t fix everything
Everything falls apart
kingdom down

I made it through this far
I can make it all the way
I’m leaving this crumbling castle
I’m gonna stay away
kingdom down
