lyrics

Shift the spotlight
Everyone be silent
He is approaching and he
needs your full attention
You know you want to live his life
So bright so charming so
full of strife
Does he have your attention now?
He wants to see you squirm
just submit then bow down
No one speak
it's his turn to talk
So sit back and relax
pay no attention to the clock

Drop everything that you care about
He's the king
always expects a nicer crown
So supreme
hiding behind his self doubt
On our knees
as his peasants
we'll keep it down

I wish I could be unforgiving
and exaggerate my accomplishments
Knowing I'll make a decent living
offering no empathy and be
so unapologetic
demanding others do as I request
I'll be your favorite politician
bear my humility as my weakness

I finally see through the pattern
that makes you think that it's okay
to be the monster that you paint me as
It's funny that you kept me trapped
for so god damn long
and always blamed for everything
that you did wrong
I hope that you one day find comfort
In the sad fact that
there will always be something
that's better than you
and you can't admit that
but you know that it's true
you'll be lonely forever

Drop everything that you care about
He's the king
always expects a nicer crown
So supreme
hiding behind his self doubt
On our knees
as his peasants
we'll keep it down

I wish I could be unforgiving
and exaggerate my accomplishments
Knowing I'll make a decent living
offering no empathy and be
so unapologetic
demanding others do as I request
I'll be your favorite politician
bear my humility as my weakness

Will you slowdance on my grave
with all my loved ones?
Will you smile when you see my face
knowing that you still play the victim?
I misplaced my faith in your hands
I let you stay but didn't meet your demands
You made me change
when all I needed was a friend
So why don't you try to fill my place
with someone new to manipulate?

You weren't born my fucking brother

and I won't die your fucking slave
