lyrics

There's a man in my castle
With a serpent tongue
And claws for hands

He's got a plastic crown
And a rule
Over me

He just wanted his conquest
Without the caveat
And he got his wish

He's tried to make a better me
With a different POV
I' d never be his

And I keep asking, "Is this it?"

Yeah, there's a man in my castle
Who feels the threat of a complex
That don't exist

I'll never be yours
No, I'll never be yours
If nothing else, I'm competition
You invented the war
And maybe in a couple years
We'll meet and settle the score
But until then I'm falling, falling, falling...

But maybe I could be the issue
But what could I do when the TV blares?
When words are met with spite
The all-familiar bite
I'll never be enough
And I'm sorry...

Am I good enough to be yours?
Am I good enough to be yours?

The album opens with the soft, almost hymnal chords from a piano, building at times to melodic cacophony (complimentary) before settling back down in it's final track. The vivid lyricism and powerful vocals throughout are incredible. Well worth picking up!! Sav
