Kings of People

lyrics

If I thought it meant something to be understood
I’d speak plain mouthed, I’d cast off code
I’d kick off the veils that’s the cover of
I’d keep a bright mind, I’d stay unstuck

What’s my life worth in the thoughts that bind
In a shrinking prison of a swollen mind
There’s only such thing as two of a kind
In the kingdoms of our selfish times

When you find yourself confused just stop trying
When you find yourself confused just stop trying

Kings of people
Kings of people
Your feet are on our on throats
Kings of people
Kings of people
Your feet are on our throats
Our throats

If you need a can to the ear to hear the truth
And that hollow echo is revealed as you
Or you can’t accept the magnitudes
of all the fogs you built you can’t see through

To transfer in whistle in cathartic tongue
To accept all faults and embrace none
To know you’re not the only one
To cave and crumble under dying sun

If you left it all alone you wouldn’t be trying
If you left it all alone you wouldn’t be trying

Kings of people
Kings of people
Your feet are on our throats
Kings of people
Kings of people
Your feet are on our throats
Our throats

Well it’s ok to break and sway
And let your hands go free
And float to the top of your inky sea
Everything that’s grown is just the unborn seeds
That fill the emptiness in you and me

To know no truth can pass through these lips
That there’s not a word that can’t be flipped
We don’t need everything at our fingertips
If you want to lighten up then let it slip

When I find myself confused I just stop trying
When I find myself confused I just stop trying

Kings of people
Kings of people
Your feet are on our throats
Kings of people
Kings of people
Your feet are on our throats
Our throats
Your feet are on our throats
Our Throats
