look at me

i'm the king

i am the king of lost hope

i am the prince of gone

i am the lord of the unavoidable future

i am a ghost

now

so come on then and do your worst

cause i was there for your best

i know you better than you know yourself

and i truly hope that this is just a test

i hope that this is just a really bad dream

and when i wake none of it is real

wish in one hand shit in the other

see who's the first to fill!

you have broken me

yet made me stronger

it all feels

a little strange

(ya reckon!)

i honestly thought

that we had longer

and then my whole

world changed

i fell into the abyss that night

my stare was not enough

it wanted pain it wanted real

it wanted hard and rough

i returned stripped of all

but my soul

i still had all my pain and all the hurt

but i had gained a new belief
