Dysphoria

When the noise is gone
In quiet moments I can gather my scattered thoughts
Fragile and weak, like a newborn learning to breathe
And when the world moves on
It leaves my stomach, freezes words to the end of my tongue
When you collide with your soul, it bruises to the bone

It's the weight of a crown on a kid
Who shoulders the world and the pain that it gives him
He never asked for anything
Who will stay as the dominoes fall
When gravity wins and swallows us all
I'll find myself a reluctant king

These walls are caving in
All the light departs from darkness as the heavens rescind
That's how it begins
What if I'll never be the same again?
It's when the pain sets in
Fever burns and fingers blister to the touch of my skin.
It's all the same to me
There's no relief, only destiny

It's the weight of a crown on a kid
Who shoulders the world and the pain that it gives him
He never asked for anything
Who will stay as the dominoes fall?
When gravity wins and swallows us all?
I'll find myself a reluctant king

Don't mistake a want for a need or compliance for peace
In the struggle it brings, things exist that we can't see
Don't misplace your faith in your dreams
When they rip at the seams, you just have to believe
It's not the end of everything

It's the weight of a crown on a kid
Who shoulders the world and the pain that it gives him
He never asked for anything
Who will stay as the dominoes fall?
When gravity wins and swallows us all?
I'll find myself a reluctant king
