lyrics

You're the king of your castle
and you build up your palace
on a bed of quicksand

Meaning falls into upturned hands
bounces off fists that grab at them
and you are your own worst enemy

Salmon meet only mere acquaintances
pioneers trip over their own paths
they take a fall right through the ground

A monarch with wings
behold beauty and privilege
to reign and to gain
over jaded peers
whose only worst enemy
wont even look themselves in the eye
when before a mirror
they can only hope to die
before the inadequacy they feel boils over in their eyes
and washes away all the love in their beautiful lives

to laugh in their faces like clowns
unbearable ugliness arises with overwhelming anger
fire and flames clench like raging fists
tongues curl like cruel, scathing serpents
and the very flesh itself writhes like living shapes
that topple so easily without a sturdy base

but now

i hear in a splash
says begone demons, live as rain
for those who can release imaginary reigns
extinguish the hatred that defiles within
the envy, greed, and insistence to win
because every drop must fall
all the way to the ground
before carried back up to be in the clouds
their only choice is to trust in the unknown
and let be what lies beyond their control
what they then find is that no one's alone
progress relies on the combined efforts
of all a part of a cycle so vast it is beyond comprehension
and like a bird on a line they can take root anywhere
and make it divine
its not about where but how
you make the most of what you find
winged intuition is inherent in their decision
to call home,
sweet home
