(Verse 1)

In my mind I am royalty/
But, to the outside world I'm just a boy, you see/
So I gotta make sure I keep that mindset/
If I don't, I'll probably end up completely mindless/
Implant cybernetics in my skin to make it thick/
In this business it's gonna be my greatest defense/
Every king deserves his own throne/
This cold, one-bedroom apartment's what I call "home"/
Skipping meals, writing songs, self-delegate/
Try my best to get my life in a better place/
My kingdom ain't surrounded by a moat/
Tears of disappointment leave my carpet fully soaked/
I guess that's what'll be the equivalent/
All the townspeople I see, I ain't fittin' with/
So I just become an introvert/
That way I never set myself up for getting hurt

(Chorus x 2)

These castle walls, will they stand tall?/
Or will they crumble down, when I give up the crown?/
I'm just one king, but I can't do a thing!/
So is there even a castle... at all?

(Verse 2)

Life has grown colder, as I've grown older/
Loneliness is on my shoulders, heavy as a boulder/
The reign over my throne has been stopped short/
Because the king has now become the jester of the court/
So I throw my crown into the nearest lake/
The weight & gravity of it is too much to take/
The weight of the crown... is only 'bout a pound/
But in my mind it's a ton, my grip's still around/
The crown... I can't bring myself to throw it down!/
Into the ice-cold water cuz I'd probably drown... without a sound/
I just can't release it!/
This self-conflict, every week repeated/
This is just a test of how much self-detest I got on my chest/
I guess that the message has been set in/
The throne's been relinquished/
Not even the Titanic scraping against the iceberg had a feeling this sinking/
My window of glory disappeared from shrinking/
All the time wasted trying to appease/
All the townspeople with all their feeble needs/
And for their gratitude/
Do they shower the king with gifts or give him a thanks? They just give him attitude/
But he's always the one that they come to/
When there's a problem, he's the one that they run to/
SO NOW MY GIFT IS A DILAPIDATED KINGDOM/
AIN'T NO SUNSHINE WHEN I CAN'T FIND FREEDOM/
ONLY THING MY SCREAMS DO FOR THEEESE CASTLE WAAAAALLS.... is just bounce 'em off (bounce 'em off, bounce 'em off)

(Chorus x2)

THESE CASTLE WALLS x 10

(Chorus x2)
