Kingdom

On a nighttime shuttle down to the dormitories
Some kid tripping balls tries a convo with me
I ask, "Hey man, you alright? Do you wanna take my seat?"
But he just growls, makes a face, then spits a loogie at my feet
And as he points at me and shouts out why I'm someone he resents
I seek shelter in your smiling at my current predicament

When I was a child, I could've done without some gents
I wish I'd thrown a punch or two so I wouldn't have to vent
To you about the cause of all my dents
As if my body's just a car that I rent
So before we gotta return all our keys
Please just drive me carefully

For the first time in a long time, I like this life I lead
From the moment that I wake, your darling face is all I see
Until all is lost, I'll hold onto you my queen
To feel you in the winter with my cold against your heat
We'll slowly start to fall asleep again
And now my arm's doing the same under your head

Thinkin' about the girl that taught me how to not forget
I hope it's just a momentary moment of regret
Delusions of grandeur in my head
I near-destroyed when I wanted to be dead
That just wasn't how I thought my first would end
Just life's bitter way of saying, "Start again"
I let her bring my drawbridge to the ground
And then she burned my kingdom down
