Backwards Lyrics by King Theta

2018

[Verse 1]
Something has to be let go
Seasons change, we drop our leaves
At the moment you lose hope
You are ready to receive
I'm rotten to the bone
Decompose the whole way home
I'm tying off the rope
And drawing up a new ideal

[Chorus]
Backwards
I been running backwards
That hurts
I need better standards
I murder the weak in me
A king will take his place
Fractured
My life is a disaster
I'll burn 'til I do something that matters
Let me die in peace, a king will take my place

[Verse 2]
My bones are brittle and I'm shaken to the core
Put the pressure on myself, a civil war
I'm carbon like a diamond, combustible like coal
I set myself on fire, it's my way of self control

[Chorus]
Backwards
I been running backwards
That hurts
I need better standards
I murder the weak in me
A king will take his place
Fractured
My life is a disaster
I'll burn 'til I do something that matters
Let me die in peace, a king will take my place

[Verse 3]
Every day you wake up in a cold world
Every wrong turn weighing on your shoulders
Lookin straight into the eye of the beholder
Insecure, but you're keeping your composure

[Chorus]
Backwards
I been running backwards
That hurts
I need better standards
I murder the weak in me
A king will take his place
Fractured
My life is a disaster
I'll burn 'til I do something that matters
Let me die in peace, a king will take my place
