Suffocate

If I were a king
I'd probably dream
Of bringing peace into the world
Noble deeds, heroic things
Until I'd see the shining pearls
And all of the greed stored underneath
Could go and leak at anytime
I want him dead, they bring his head
An impulse ruins all their lives
I could be wise most of the time
But just one slip up makes them starve
And all the chaos makes its way
As I'm here feasting on their farms
The problem ain't they're never good
But problem's power taints the mind
A heart of gold will turn to stone
The throne is where good men go to die

Hold on to me
Don't give up on me
If I start to sink
Would you reach for me
I get so afraid
Break down, suffocate
And you help me breathe
Help me breathe

If I were to gain all of this world
Don't let them take away my soul
Don't want the arrogance, the ignorance, the selfishness I hold
Instant access is a flame that I don't think I can control
Don't let this ember enter in
If I'm not worthy of its load
Don't wanna hurt the ones I love
Don't wanna let everyone down
Tried so hard but I slip up
Lose my grip, fall on the ground
The problem ain't they're never good
But problem's power takes the mind
Don't let this heart turn into stone
Don't let these lights burn me alive

Hold on to me
Don't give up on me
If I start to sink
Would you reach for me
I get so afraid
Break down, suffocate
Would you help me breathe
Help me breathe

Oh
Don't let me suffocate in luxury
