Just a song I wrote a few months ago. Finally finished it and recorded a rough demo on a productive Thursday night. Enjoy
Royalty
on your bed you lie like royalty
in your mind you wish that you were free
all the luxuries meant for a king
but are you truly?when you trade your air for water
all our words fall upon deaf ears
you look forward to be released
follow the bright lightwatching over you like guardians
just like statues we wait
as the waves crash all around us
behind a glass displaytethered to a bed, is it living?
lines on a graph, numbers falling
your whole being reduced to
beeps on a machine(take my lungs, I didn’t treasure them anyway)
when you trade your air for water
all our words fall upon deaf ears
you look forward to be released
embrace the darknesswaiting for the full collapse
your last dying breath
we mutter empty words to comfort ourselvesit’s all up to you now
it’s time to say goodbye
we mutter empty words to comfort ourselves
