about

A song about someone who just deserves to be put in their place. (Griffin Campbell, former member of Vanquish the King. *cough cough*)

lyrics

These past few months I've been having these visions,
You keep on repeating yourself over and over again.
You save a life, you make a friend,
Just for the night, until it ends..
Yet somehow they forgive you,
Even though they let you in.

I can't seem to see,
How to make this any clearer.
Just take a look,
Into your broken, two-sided mirror.

Take them by surprise!
Feed them all your lies!
Then burn your bridges,
'Til you need them by your side!

You may be wearing a crown,
But you're so far from a king.
You're preaching drama,
Just like a fucking prom queen.

You live your life as if you're ruling a kingdom,
There's the people you like and the rest are conceded.

But that's not right, so don't pretend,
Like you have the right, to call us friends..
With this blade pierced in my backside.
This war is mine.

We're not saying we're any better.
We've fucked up just as much.
But at least we learn from our pasts,
If I were you, I'd keep my mouth shut.

It's so hard to see,
How you can live with yourself.
Let's hope you change your ways.
Move on before it's too late.

Take them by surprise!
Feed them all your lies!
You burn your bridges,
'Til you need them by your side!
(Then repeat!!)

You may be wearing a crown,
But you're so far from a king.
You're preaching rumors,
Just like a fucking prom queen.

But no!
You still...
Take them by surprise!

You may be wearing a crown,
But you're so far from a king.
You're preaching drama,
Just like a fucking prom queen.
(Ehhhh!)
You may be wearing a crown,
But you're so far from a king!
You're preaching rumors,
Just like a fucking prom queen!

Whether they find solace in our music or they just think it sounds badass, we want to speak for a generation. ... more
