I was a king cast down, no throne nor crown
No claim to my name or my past
A sense of self-worth so immeasurably small
In a universe stretching so vast (and so airless)

Day by day my life force continued to fade (to fade)
Pull me from this atrophy
Restore the lifeblood back into my veins

Strength comes from admitting weaknesses inside us
Staring our fears in the eye

I'd give anything
To be the one who kept composure
To start over, over

And I want you to know
There won't always be an answer
There won't always be a perfect ending

Is it all too late?
Are we too far gone to save?
Never thought we'd walk
So willing to an early grave

Haven't we suffered enough?
Haven't we shouldered the world?
The world that beat us down

I'd give anything
To be the one who kept composure
To start over, over

I'm a truth unspoken
I'm a life untold
I'm a mind unbroken
Till my blood runs cold
