King for a Day Lyrics by Lauren Babic

Covers, Vol. 2

2019

[Verse 1]
Dare me to jump off of this Jersey bridge
I bet you never had a Friday night like this
Keep it up, keep it up, let's raise our hands
I take a look up in the sky and I see red
Red for the cancer, red for the wealthy
Red for the drink that's mixed with suicide!
Everything!
Red!
[Pre-Chorus]
Please, won't you push me for the
Last time, let's scream until there's
Nothing left, so sick of
Playing, I don't want this anymore
The thought of you is no fucking
Fun, you want a martyr, I'll be
One, because
Enough's enough, we're done
[Chorus]
You told me, "Think about it," well, I did
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah!
[Verse 2]
The thing I think I love
Will surely bring me pain
Intoxication, paranoia
And a lot of fame
Three cheers for throwing up
Pubescent drama queens
You make me sick, I make it
Worse by drinking late
[Pre-Chorus]
Scream, scream, scream, scream
Scream, scream until there's
Nothing left, so sick of
Playing, I don't want this anymore
The thought of you is no fucking
Fun, you want a martyr, I'll be
One, because
Enough's enough, we're done
[Chorus]
You told me, "Think about it," well, I did (Well, I did)
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
Imagine living like a king someday
A single night without a ghost in the walls
And if the bass shakes the earth underground
We'll start a new revolution now
[Post-Chorus]
Alright, here we go!
[Bridge]
Hail Mary, forgive me
Blood for blood, hearts beating
Come at me, now this is war
Fuck with this new beat, oh!
[Breakdown]
Now terror begins inside a bloodless vein
I was just a product of the street youth rage
Born in this world without a voice or say
Caught in the spokes with an abandoned brain
I know you well, but this ain't a game
Blow the smoke in diamond shape
Dying is a gift, so close your eyes
And rest in peace!
[Chorus]
You told me, "Think about it," well, I did
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
Imagine living like a king someday
A single night without a ghost in the walls
We are the shadows screaming, "Take us now!"
We'd rather die than live to rust on the ground
[Outro]
Shit...
