THE DIVINE RIGHT OF KINGS LYRICS

"Insult To Injury"

I think it’s time I find a place to rest my head
‘Cause I’ve been drowning in this shallow lake my feet anchored by lead
And if what’s gone is gone, what’s lost is lost then why am I still stuck?

This prison cell ain’t built to keep me here for long
Just like the straw man arguments you made that always came out wrong
It seems if sickness is a virtue, then I’d rather be alone
As you continue to steal my breath and suck the marrow from my bones

Two timers don’t ever last
They never break the fall from grace

Sweet talker, I feel a little lightheaded in your wake
And somehow I couldn’t see the scars you left on all your goddamn prey
Apparently Stockholm syndrome has got the best of me this time
You were just a harlot at a crossroads in my mind
You served me no good

The writing on the walls was never legible
So we continued down the path that you have set
Strewn with broken bones and blatant disregard
Callous as the toxins you’re distilling in your head

If your body was a kingdom, I’d be known throughout it’s slums
Like a drug you once were golden until it’s tearing at your lungs
There’s a bright light at the end of this tunnel up above
And like an over zealous child I won’t stop until I am done

The signs all shared the same warning; caution up ahead
(Caution up ahead something’s wrong)
To stubborn to pay attention to every word that you had said
(Blurring the lines once again)

I’ve been suddenly mislead
By a crook that is far worse than me
And when I came to in the back ally masquerade
I was appalled at the sight that I had seen

Preacher preacher, I’ve got blood on my hands
And though it’s drawn from my own skin
Oh the devil’s got me again

I’ve got a dark little secret that’s tearing at my lonesome mind
And though I’d love to tell the world
I can’t be bothered to waste it’s time

Give me a second to regain composure
You must pay what you finally owe
Oh I hope that you reap what you sow
