I AM KING LYRICS

1. Alpha

The best lies have truth entwined
Designed to keep your mind
Suspended in darkness
You're so weak
Why are you fighting just to breathe?

[Chorus:]
If this is the end
Then God let me know
We are living for nothing
will we ever change?

Can you see it in my eyes?
A sickness is growing
There's no way of knowing
Which way I'll go
But you should really
Just worry about yourself
Why are you here?
Speak out
In the sound of existence
Lose your way
Or find the strength to stay

[Chorus:]
If this is the end
Then God let me know
We are living for nothing
Will we ever change?
So remove all these ties that bind you
And clear the way
The stars burn out on this brand new day

What do you stand for?
Why are you fighting just to breathe

[X2:]
This line where we once stood
Will always stay the same
Break free and just walk away

Today's the day to live your life
Fight off the fear that binds you
Fight back
Get angry... Before it's too late

[Chorus:]
If this is the end
Then God let me know
We are living for nothing
Will we ever change?
So remove all these ties that bind you
And clear the way
The stars burn out on this brand new day

2. Fallen

Though your mouth did smile,
your eyes proclaimed
I could see through your heart,
you didn't feel the same
You should have learned how to lie,
learned from the best,
learned from me
Because when you told me the truth,
baby it killed me

I traced a figure eight in the sand there where we laid,
as you looked into my eyes and said forever and always
I still lose my sanity from the mistake I made that day,
when I reflected in your eyes and said forever and always

If I could only wish you away,
erase the memory of your ghost
Did we ever even happen?
Was I ever welcome in your home?

A slow dance with a gruesome romance that made time stand still
You swore you'd never forget me,
but I'll make sure you never fucking will
These days it's so hard not to notice me

If I could only wish you away,
erase the memory of your ghost
Did we ever even happen?
Was I ever welcome in your home?
You should have learned how to lie,
learned from the best,
learned from me
Because when you told me the truth,
baby it killed me

Where my dreams once stood,
now lies the cynics of a bitter man before you
Now that I've become all the things I hate,
I'm free to live my life in this prison and just take, take, take it all
I lost myself in the light,
but found myself in the dark
If you come close,
I swear I'll tear you apart

If it's a wound that never heals,
then it's a love that never fades
Baby you're the greatest mistake I've ever made
So tell me how?
How can it be?
So many suns have set, yet it's only you I see

If I could only wish you away,
erase the memory of your ghost
Did we ever even happen?
Was I ever welcome in your home?
You should have learned how to lie,
learned from the best,
learned from me
Because when you told me the truth,
baby it killed me

Though your mouth did smile,
your eyes proclaimed
I could see through your heart,
you didn't feel the same

3. Movie Life

If life were a movie
I'd be your hero
I'd save you someday
(Believe me, I won't let this go)

In our little fable
I'd be your savior
I'd take you away
(Believe me, I won't let this go)

But life ain't no movie
They're coming to take us
To take us away

We came together at unfortunate times
They say our flag doesn't believe
In you and me
They say we're out of time
But that won't stop me
From fighting for our dreams

[Chorus:]
Does the way the story ended take your breath?
And do you feel the way I feel here
Seconds from the end?
If the things I said could make a change
Then believe me when I say
That we will never be the same

Breath may be fading from our bodies
As our bones dissolve to dust
(Dissolve to dust)
But even after death
In my love you can always trust

Why can't we learn from history?
We can't stop the world from spinning
But we can change the way we're living

[Chorus:]
Does the way the story ended take your breath?
And do you feel the way I feel here
Seconds from the end?
If the things I said could make a change
Then believe me when I say
That we will never be the same

(Will never be the same)
(Will never be the same)
(Will never be the same)

Sometimes these things
Don't work out the way we planned
Though we made charts and graphs and wrote
Paragraphs to help us make our stand

[Chorus:]
Does the way the story ended take your breath?
And do you feel the way I feel here
Seconds from the end?
If the things I said could make a change
Then believe me when I say
That we will never be the same

We'll never be the same

4. Ambition & Contrast

I'll change the world
Or drag it straight to hell with me
When every day's the same
Wanting something will keep you sane
I'll claw my way from the bottom
Then I'll yell down from the top
And when it's time to fall
You and all will know I want it all
But if they speak my name
I just might answer the call

[Chorus:]
My ambition
It will define my whole life and I
I want it all in the palm of my hands
(Palms of my hands)
I want it all

It's all a joke
Just fools in a maze
We all play the game
To get a piece of something
They say we need
Well I don't fucking buy it anymore

It's not the outcome
But the process that defines the man
Trust me, the heart to believe
The strength to succeed
You know nothing of these things
You're all the same
Like the ground beneath me
You always try to pull me down
Yet here I have this crown

[Chorus:]
My ambition
It will define my whole life and I
I want it all in the palm of my hands
(Palms of my hands)
I'm so alone
Yet so alive
Will you ever understand my ambition?

We are the broken and the brave
So raise your fist to the sky
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, fuck)

It just goes to show
I'd rather die feeling alive
Than stay alive playing dead

[Chorus:]
My ambition
It will define my whole life and I
I want it all in the palm of my hands
(Palms of my hands)
I'm so alone
Yet so alive
Will you ever understand
Will you ever understand
Will you ever understand my ambition?
(Hey, hey, hey)

5. Julia

Through these sleepless nights
I just can't get you off my mind
And I lay here silently
Thinking about the faces
And the places that you knew

[Chorus:]
And I know I was the one
Who set your heart on fire
I breathed in all you had
And I killed the life inside
That set us both on fire
So please forgive me

I know that I regret
What I have become
But I could never regret you
Though your name is burned on my lips
I still thank God every day
That the stars aligned that way
I can see the fear in your eyes
Though you claim your scars have healed

[Chorus:]
And I know I was the one
Who set your heart on fire
I breathed in all you had
And I killed the life inside
That set us both on fire
So please forgive me

So now you're in the arms of another man
Never to return to mine again
So now you're in the arms of another man
Never to return to mine again

It's like the feeling of being haunted
Eeeah
It's like the feeling of being alone

[Chorus:]
And I know I was the one
Who set your heart on fire
I breathed in all you had
And I killed the life inside
That set us both on fire
So please forgive me
so please forgive me
so please forgive me

6. Move Slow

[feat. Elliot Coleman]

Sometimes, it's like the air after midnight is a little bit harder for me to breathe
Sometimes, I just need a little bit of time to find some piece of mind
Sometimes, I just need you to move it nice and slow for me

Because I am only a man who crumbles and fades as the weight of the world takes its toll on me
And right now I need your touch,
will you be my sanity?

Move slow,
like the seasons take time to change
I know what it takes to make you shake,
so come close cuz I know that you feel the same
I know that you feel the same

I feel your breath on my skin,
your heart's paper thin,
but that won't stop you no
You want to feel what's wrong,
girl you know I'm right
Baby, don't pretend to fight me on this fake love here tonight

Let the clocks melt from these walls,
as we lose ourselves in something that we make believe is real
If only for a moment suspended in night

Move slow,
like the seasons take time to change
I know what it takes to make you shake,
so come close cuz I know that you feel the same
I know that you feel the same

I've got this feeling deep inside,
it's getting hard to fight
Lets not fight,
close your eyes,
and closer
So baby,
don't you be afraid
Lose yourself tonight,
lose yourself tonight

Come close,
let the walls begin to quake
I feel your heart beating faster with every move you make
Don't be afraid,
lose yourself in me tonight

Move slow,
like the seasons take time to change
I know what it takes to make you shake,
so come close cuz I know that you feel the same
I know that you feel the same

7. Crash

She told me she loved me
But she had some place to go
She put on her jacket
And headed into the cold
Something so simple
Something so sweet
Something for-granted
That moment will always be to me

[Chorus:]
Baby, why did you go?
How could you leave me?
Don't you know I'm alone?

You were all that was good in me
(That was good in me)
I can't believe we were robbed of
The time that we had
And if there's a God
Does he know that I'm going mad?
You were all that was good in me

[Chorus:]
Baby, why did you go?
How could you leave me?
Don't you know I'm alone?
You know that it kills me?
Life seems so cold
To think of my baby
With no hand to hold

Sink now
Let the ocean take you in
Sleep now
One day we'll dream again
This can't be right
This isn't fair
How can I live my life
If you're not even there?
(Not even there)

[Chorus:]
Baby, why did you go?
How could you leave me?
Don't you know I'm alone?
You know that it kills me?
Life seems so cold
To think of my baby
With no hand to hold

[Chorus:]
Baby, why did you go?
How could you leave me?
Don't you know I'm alone?

She told me she loved me
But she had some place to go

8. Thrive

Such potential wasted
On feeling chasing nothing
On a fleeting moment chasing nothing

And we prefer a lie
We prefer a lie
Over the truth about you and I
We beg for lies
(We beg for lies, we beg for lies)
We pay for lies
And we want more

(We've forgotten our colors)

[Chorus:]
Life can be cruel
Time can be unforgiving
But we hold out hope for the sake of another

To be alive is to be conflicted
To be alive
You must find something worth fighting for
Something worth fighting for

Let's do art for art's sake
And make melodies
From music we've heard
Somewhere in our dreams
(Somewhere in our dreams)

We the poor find riches in our dreams
But are your dreams even your own?
Have you forgotten to question everything?
We have forgotten our place
we have forgotten the taste of life
All for a lie

(We've forgotten our colors)

[Chorus:]
Life can be cruel
Time can be unforgiving
But we hold out hope for the sake of another
To know life
You must give yours away
To be free
You must let go and realize
We're not here to stay
Nothing lasts forever

[X2:]
Yesterday is gone
Like tomorrow will be gone
Like today will soon be gone
Like you and I will soon be gone

Yesterday is gone
Wake up

[Chorus:]
Life can be cruel
Time can be unforgiving
But we hold out hope for the sake of another
To know life
You must give yours away
To be free
You must let go and realize
We're not here to stay
Nothing lasts forever
Yesterday is gone

9. Birth By Sleep

The clouds come rolling in
Like giant castles in the sky
To carry me home
Though I feel far away
From the things I have come to know
From that which I know
Love has begun to grow
The black sea of stars is calling my name

And I will answer their call
For you, my beloved
For you I will fall
Always for you

[Chorus:]
Take me back to where
To where the ocean meets the skyline
To a time
Where things somehow made more sense
To a place where we walked with innocence

To the edge of the worlds
If I have to go
Should oblivion take me
Nobody will know
I'll follow my heart
Whether it stops or starts
To take me away
Or right back to your arms

At the start of it all
For you, my beloved
For you I will fall
For you I will fall again

[Chorus:]
Take me back to where
To where the ocean meets the skyline
To a time
Where things somehow made more sense
To a place where we walked with innocence
You're my queen of hearts
You're the keeper of my keys
Every breath you take
You take away from me

The future doesn't scare me at all

Stop now
Let's just stand here in the dark
Not a sound through all these worlds except
The beating of our hearts

[Chorus:]
Take me back to where
To where the ocean meets the skyline
To a time
Where things somehow made more sense
To a place where we walked with innocence
You're my queen of hearts
You're the keeper of my keys
Every breath you take
You take away from me

10. Omega

[feat. Spencer Sotelo Of Periphery]

Do you know who controls the world?
Did you know the stage is set for you and I
And there's nothing we can do?

You will be forgotten
The sands of time roll on and on
And the power of pyramids go on
And on, and on

The price I paid was great indeed
A love
And a soul
And a family
I hate the eye
Yet here I am
A rebellious slave
With a dollar in my hand

Here I stand
At the end of all things
Where time means nothing
where the light and darkness
Become one in the same

The time has come to choose your side
To choose who lives and dies
Is there a God
Or just nothingness?
Maybe some judgment is what we need
To kill our self righteousness
Or maybe it wouldn't be
So bad to sink into a sea of nothingness

As sure as the seasons come and go
They will come to carry us home
To a place where lies are truth
To a place where the minds of our youth
Are not their own

Here I stand
At the end of all things
Where time means nothing
where the light and darkness
Become one in the same

Pray to your God
Prepare your heart
Omega comes at dawn
Hidden kings tear us apart
(Tear us apart)
Love will die
With no tears in our eyes
So choose your side as the skies open wide
Reign of fire
we've reached the end
Nothing will ever be the same again...

Here I stand
At the end of all things
Where time means nothing

Here I stand
At the end of all things
Where time means nothing
where the light and darkness
Become one...
