King of Rock Bottom

King of Rock Bottom

From an outsider looking in
Its like look at him another man that couldn't win
Another stand with a crooked grin
On the other hand he blames the land that took him in
A product of environment
The book the pen they wonder where the fire went
He shook the hands of the one he admires
He's hooked again
In the club he acquires a small taste for loneliness
He's always saying how it's only us
He flys in with the three wise men
He buys into the Jack, John, Jim
This is where the Captain swims on a sinking ship
He's the only passenger and he ain't thinking quick
He drinks he sips he took it down
He winks and tips his crooked crown
Look it now He's spoiled by the Royal one
Coiled in the corner father guilt he the loyal son
Waiting on his joy to come in the form of another pour
Yo, pour me one

Cus if he only knew
How much he meant to you
So many prayers that never got sent to you
The Devil got him resenting you
For all the things he did and never meant to do

He'd have the nights over heaven
More then half the time
When life gave him lemons he grabbed a lime
Is it his faults or the Gin's the Malt on his chin
The salt of the earth is now the salt on his rim
It's the call of the Jim to see the Beams of his ceiling
If his walls were any thinner
You could see he was kneeling
On his bathroom tile but not in prayer
Passed out by the smile that got him there
Another bout in a self-doubt nightmare
Got him in a glass house with this right hand
Holding a Mic stand denying what his life is
Hold him to the light and you'll find he's self-righteous
Can you believe the one that won't bleed
Is asking you to cut yourself indeed
Looking at the flower brother check the seed
You shook by the power of a reckless greed
A washed up hero enjoying his drink again
Maybe in the morning he will think again
Until then the only sunrise he know
Gets mixed with an orange juice and Cuervo Gold

Cus if he only knew
How much he meant to you
So many prayers that never got sent to you
The Devil got him resenting you
For all the things he didn't and never meant to do
