I'm writing the book on how to stay conscious when you drown And if the words float to the surface, I put them down This is the first time I know I don't want the crown You can take it now You promised a world and brought me it hanging from a string Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat, don't need to sing That was the first time I knew you can't kill the king Unless you kiss the ring Tell me how it's better when the sun goes down We will never escape this time I wasn't scared when he caught me before he taught me Tell me how it's better if we make no sound I will never escape this time I wasn't dead when he fired me once just before we were done I'm writing a chapter on what to do after the dinky war On what to do after you quit your head while you used to run That was the first time I knew they were out for blood And they would have your core Tell me how it's better when the sun goes down We will never escape this time I wasn't scared when he caught me before he taught me Tell me how it's better if we make no sound I will never escape this time I wasn't dead when he fired me once just before we were done I'm writing a chapter on what to do after the dinky war On what to do after you quit your head while you used to run That was the first time I knew they were out for blood And they would have your core Tell me how it's better when the sun goes down They're pulling me down Dead when they fire me Once just before we were done Once just before we were done Once just before we were done They're pulling me down Dead when they fire me Once just before we were done Once just before we were done Once just before we were done Once just before we were done Once just before we were done I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown And if words fall off the surface, I'll keep them down This is the first time I know I don't want to cry You can take me with you You can take me with you Take me with you Take me with you Take me with you
