Throne

I sit on the throne

A kingdom of naught

Built with the bones

Of the ones I loved

The crown it is dirt

And the wine it is blood

I sit on the throne

As it sinks in the mud

I shout I am king

And only echoes return

The reason she said

That I’d never learn

She said accept when your beat

Or you’ll end up alone

I said there’s no better companion

Than a king’s throne

But now the days they are long

And they nights don’t end

And I’m starting to think

Those voices ain’t friends

I ask what put me here?

And what’s making me stay

I trade a kingdom of love

For a throne of decay

I’m sorry my love

And is it too late?

The journey was hard

With bones made out of clay

Here I am now

On my knees at your feet

And please oh please

Take this crown off of me

Well now love has replaced

The black of my heart

As you lay on my chest

In the quiet of the dark

But outside the wind howls

An old song that I know

It sings I am the king

And this is my throne
