You Were the King, Now You’re Unconscious
[Verse 1]
There is no light in sight
Only a tunnel of pain
Only your legs will carry you
Carry you to the end
[Verse 2]
Live your life for yourself
Or live for the struggle at best
Just don't let it strangle you
Just don't let it strangle you
[Pre-Chorus]
And after all this
No one will carry you home
[Chorus]
And without a thought
You let your guard fall to the ground
Thought you were the king
But now it's gone
Taste the air as you pull it in your lungs
Try to savor it for one more song
[Verse 3]
The thick of the battle
A metaphor for this life
You never see it hit you
Until it smashes you in the face
[Verse 4]
You try as best as you can
And I knock you down again
Just don't let it strangle you
Just don't let it strangle you
[Pre-Chorus]
And after all this
No one will carry you home
[Chorus]
And without a thought
You let your guard fall to the ground
Thought you were the king
But now it's gone
Taste the air as you pull it in your lungs
Try to savor it for one more song
[Bridge]
Get up
Get up now
Get up right now
I scream to myself
Get up
Get up now
Get up right now
I scream at myself
[Pre-Chorus]
And after all this
No one will carry you home
[Chorus]
And without a thought
You let your guard fall to the ground
Thought you were the king
But now it's gone
Taste the air as you pull it in your lungs
Try to savor it for one more song
[Outro]
Try to savor it for one more song
