I showed a girl a picture Of a dying man she said it would scar forever And I told her that was the purpose That I was only returning a favor She walked out of the place Thought she'd be gone forever She came back the next day And started to say that she was better Than all the others Said we'd be forever, said we'd be forever But my walls keep falling down Keep breaking down And I put in my all just to keep them up but I am growing so tired of being stretched so thin Of trying to pretend that this ain't bothering me I used to know what I was doing But I got lost in all the fake promises and paranoia I am trying to hard again I'd sell myself to win I'd sell myself to make her smile And sometimes I feel so alone I'm forced into my own world Where I waste my time building my own kingdom But my walls keep falling down Keep breaking down And I put in my all just to keep them up but I am growing so tired of being stretched so thin Of trying to pretend that this ain't bothering me I showed a girl a picture of a dying man https://spencercarlson.bandcamp.com/track/my-stupid-kingdom

My Stupid Kingdom
I showed a girl a picture Of a dying man she said it would scar forever And I told her that was the purpose That I was only returning a favor She walked out of the place Thought she'd be gone forever She came back the next day And started to say that she was better Than all the others Said we'd be forever, said we'd be forever But my walls keep falling down Keep breaking down And I put in my all just to keep them up but I am growing so tired of being stretched so thin Of trying to pretend that this ain't bothering me I used to know what I was doing But I got lost in all the fake promises and paranoia I am trying to hard again I'd sell myself to win I'd sell myself to make her smile And sometimes I feel so alone I'm forced into my own world Where I waste my time building my own kingdom But my walls keep falling down Keep breaking down And I put in my all just to keep them up but I am growing so tired of being stretched so thin Of trying to pretend that this ain't bothering me I showed a girl a picture of a dying man https://spencercarlson.bandcamp.com/track/my-stupid-kingdom
