KINGDOM OF GIANTS LYRICS

1. Cash Out


I was young and innocent
Naïve and ignorant
When they told me it was time
It was time to choose time to decide
How I would spend the rest of my life
"Be careful what you're learning
We don't care about your happiness
We only care about your earnings"

Lost without control
Can someone help me
Find my way back home
(how can I find my way)

Ignorance is blisters on my hands
Sweat dripping from my face
Only twenty dollars left
If I can make it stretch to the next check I'll be OK
I'll be OK

I didn't follow my heart
"You'll never have a future"
Because you said there was no money in art
"All you care about is happiness
You'll always be a fucking loser"

Lost without control
Can someone help me
Find my way back home
(how can I find my way)

I might be broke
I may not sleep in my own bed
But I can live with myself
And never think what could have been

They told me put my
Hands in the air now
Life isn't fair
Run it
Hands in the air now
Life isn't fair

Lost without control
Can someone help me
Find my way back home
(how can I find my way)

I told them put their
Hands in the air
My life isn't theirs
Fuck it
Hands in the air
My life isn't theirs


2. Lowlife


Silver tongues and paper towns
Their whispers are as loud as an elephant
Find the balance between you and I
They want my head above the mantle like a trophy
They earned it

Well come and get it
I bet we both look the same
Lying in a coffin
Only here on borrowed time
Why don't you get up off me

Hate me
Not for who I am but what you see
Take me
Not by what you see but what lies underneath

I've been torn limb from limb so many times
I've lost the feeling in my fingers
And the focus in my eyes
Where is the justice
When there's so many of us
I said where is the justice
When there is so many of us
There are so many walks of life to choose
You think you know me by my looks
You don't know what I've been through

Hate me
Not for who I am but what you see
Take me
Not by what you see but what lies underneath

They show us that it's ugliness within them
But our only purpose is living a life full of freedoms
They tell us we're an abomination of nations
They're showing us many choices and fighting hard to freeze them
You cant believe them as far as you teach them
So they ignore all of the core parts of our reason
Give them a good song they tell you
"You did wrong"
Criticizing your very life till you want to delete it
But I'm the same as you
Put my clothes on the same way you do
But you're too judgmental
You wanna see me change
Clothes
Political views
And religious intentions
To make your life simple
It's really difficult to take people serious
When every thought's delirious
And nothing's there to lift you
To keep you dependent's
The mission they're given
You give them success every time
You seem to share the same views
So when do they lose?
is it when you're reaching your limits
Wanting to change everything about you?
or maybe it's when you're feeling it bubble within
But in a violent rage
You're feeding the demons that crowd you
Wait 'til they pound you
For being bound to a better mind state
What is the place that we can call "safety"
I think my thoughts
I live
I walk
I bleed
I cry
So why is it hard for you
To take me as I am

This is an anthem
To anyone that's cast aside
This is an anthem
It's bigger than just you and I
(hate me)
The voices scream and shout
But I can't hear a sound
I can feel their eyes like daggers
(take me)
This is an open book
It's never let me down
The light won't be on when you're locked out

This is an anthem
It's bigger then just you and I


3. Damaged Goods


Give me all the hell that you've got to spare

Death hovers over an immense distress
Playing victim after victim
Without missing a step
I am so sick of this
Watching everyone I love just die around me
I'm not alone in this
Am I gonna be a man or will I cry about it
But it wont change that

I felt the pain for both of us
As you stared in silence 'til reality struck
I made amends it tore me up
Tears rise to distressed eyes
But I wont go blind

Young enough to hurt like hell
And old enough to understand
What a deadly combination
For two confused young men
An underlying pain
Somehow you hid it away
Listen up don't worry kid
We'll be OK

I felt the pain for both of us
As you stared in silence till reality struck
I made amends it tore me up
Tears rise to distressed eyes

Tears rise to distressed eyes
But I wont go blind

Give me all the hell that you've got to spare

I felt the pain for both of us
As you stared in silence till reality struck
I made amends it tore me up
Tears rise to distressed eyes

And now I've got the world on my shoulders
My heart in my hands
I feel my face getting colder
With the sun to my back
I am too young for this
Why does everyone I love just die around me
But I'll man up for this
Am I gonna be a man or will I cry about it


4. Bored to Death


Dig in our heels
Rattle the cage
Banish the weakness
Assemble your strength
Why settle for failure
When success is within reach
Do I need something tangible
To replace what you cannot see

Distance travelled
Never measured
Put pressure to pavement
Keep your head centered
Through all of the trials and disbelief
I'm getting deeper and deeper into the game

I'm tired of leaving
But I'm bored to death staring at my ceiling

Moments lost
Tears in the rain but at what cost
Dig in our heels
Rattle the cage
Banish the weakness
Assemble your strength

I'm tired of leaving
But I'm bored to death staring at my ceiling

What a heavy burden to carry
Are you sure you want to be a visionary
You know you're living
When it all becomes a blur
Morally bankrupt and insecure


5. Runaway


Should I follow the birds
To some place warm
To get away from the clouds
And get away from the storm

Can there be a change in me?
It is an art, becoming who you are
Is it too late for me to be set free?

Should we follow our nerves
To some place far
We'll leave without any trace
And reinvent who we are

It seems no matter how many times I run
How many miles I put between us
Just when I think I am safe and sound
You find a way back in and there's no way out

Can there be a change in me?
It is an art, becoming who you are
Is it too late for me to be set free?

[Bridge]
I used to think that I could change the world
Now I'm afraid I can't even change myself

Can you see
A change in me?
It is an art
Becoming who you are
Can there be a change in me?
It is an art, becoming who you are
Is it too late for me to be set free?
Can you see
A change in me?
It is an art
Becoming who you are


6. Shade


[Instrumental]



7. Tunnel Vision


[feat. JT Cavey]

Have I been consumed
Calculating every move
As if I've got something more important to prove
As if I am someone more important than you
Would I do it any different if I could choose
It feels so lifeless
It feels so numb

Achievement
Is the death of endeavor and birth of disgust
This is the trap of having something to live for
Everything else feels so lifeless
Feels so lifeless
Feels so cold and empty here
Follow your dreams
Abandon your losses
No matter what the cost is

Disregard your sanity
Leave it behind with your friends and family
You're under a spell not in front of a gun
Another rat in the race
Not fooling anyone

When did my body become so heavy
When did my actions start effecting so many
Through a life of contradictions
And a heart of good intentions
Will I ever find the balance
Between love and competition
I'm starting to lose my focus

If you're always pushing forward
Unable to see what you're moving towards
This isn't disease it's a disorder
Ego manifests defense as stubbornness
Again and again and again

Is it in my head
Is it all in my head

You're under a spell not in front of a gun
Another rat in the race
Not fooling anyone

When did my body become so heavy
When did my actions start effecting so many
Through a life of contradictions
And a heart of good intentions
Will I ever find the balance
Between love and competition
I'm starting to lose my focus

What once was full is empty now
A raging river into a drought
The landscapes that were shaped
Have been laid to waste
What once was full is empty now
A raging river into a drought
The landscapes that were shaped
Are forever etched in the messes we've made


8. Lost Cause


Feeling like I am made out of string
Getting caught up on everything
The only way to escape any pain
To pull away and leave my body frayed

I'm a bit run down my friend
I'm a bit run down at the moment
I'm a bit run down they said
But they said it like I hadn't noticed

Feeling like I am running in place
Two steps back for every one that I take

When my demons come out to fight
They claw and they bite
They bring their own knives
They don't fight fair
Now I need them to open my eyes
Shed light on my life
They keep me in line

I'm a bit run down my friend
I'm a bit run down at the moment
I'm a bit run down they said
But they said it like I hadn't noticed

You don't know the half of it

They told me I need a religion to follow
Don't we all though
They told me that I need religion father
He looked right down and told me
Son don't bother
There was never a time that I prayed in church
And now I find myself praying for the
Whole fucking world

I'm a bit run down my friend
I'm a bit run down at the moment
I'm a bit run down they said
But they said it like I hadn't noticed


9. Motif


Can I find my way through this maze before it turns to grey?

Will all I ever say be more than just a copy?
Or am I living in a world stuck on repeat?

I know, I should find comfort in similarities
But instead it's draining me of any creativity
And now I fear we're merely tracing outlines
Left by others overtime
I've been on the search for reason
Looking to make sense of my life
While breaking down true meaning

Will all I ever say be more than just a copy?
Or am I living in a world stuck on repeat?

How many times, (How many times) can we use the same old played out lines?
(Sever the ties, Open your eyes)
I've heard this shit a thousand times
I know I'm guilty and so I'll still be
Searching for my way out of this maze

Do I have nothing new to add?
Do I have nothing left to offer?
The scary part of it all
Is that everything I'm saying has been said before
So say your line and move along, move along

I've been so scared of getting older
Pushing 27 now with nothing to show for
The time spent and dedication
Spilling out my guts onto this piece of paper
Yea

Can I find my way through this maze before it turns to gray?

Will I ever be anything more than a fucking copy?
Will I ever be anything, anything at all

Can I find my way through this maze before it turns to gray?


10. Speakeasy


You have your visions and I have mine
And they may be different but
Who's to say who's right
I'll give you space and I'll take mine
But I'd rather find a way to coincide
Oh you think I'm living wrong
I should live in fear
I should play along
"Where will you get if you're only singing songs"
I guess I'll know when I blow out both my lungs

You keep trying to save me
Trying to save me
But you couldn't save yourself
(you couldn't save yourself)
You keep trying to save me
Trying to save me
But it wasn't any help
You only know what you've been told
But you put it on yourself to buy the lies they sold
You put it on yourself to buy the lies they sold

I watched the leaves turn
I watched them rot away
I saw the snowfall
And turn back into the rain
Years are flying by you're living in a cage
I think it's time you step outside
And feel the sunlight glisten off your skin

You keep trying to save me
Trying to save me
But you couldn't save yourself
You couldn't save yourself
You keep trying to save me
Trying to save me
But it wasn't any help
It wasn't any help

The fear of failure
It has us play the cards we're dealt
The fear of suffering
Is worse than suffering itself
It's funny how it all worked out

You keep trying to save me
Trying to save me
But you couldn't save yourself
You couldn't save yourself
You keep trying to save me
Trying to save me
But it wasn't any help
You only know what you've been told
And if you don't know
Well now you know

You keep trying to save me


11. Gray Area


When I open up to speak
You hear another voice it's so frustrating
Paint a picture in unlikely shades
(a world in which we get our shit together)
Which side of the grave are we on in the end

I can't shake the thought
That I'm a fading memory
I can't turn it off
It's like a wave of disbelief

Every time we're forced to fill the spaces
With another love another lie
Do you ever wonder can we escape it
Give it another go another try
Hesitation as I turn to leave
'cause when I look at you my world stops spinning
Which side of the page are we on in the end

I can't shake the thought
That I'm a fading memory
I can't turn it off
It's like a wave of disbelief
