Kingdom Gone -

Now the ink is all dry

And I cannot erase it

And this cage that I have

Will not ever release me

But it's all right though

'Cause inside I'll be always yours

And here I stand, in quiet halls

No song to sing within its walls

I'm building the house of ink

Self-called king

Stands overthrown and uncrowned

I've built it on my own

Windows closed

Doors always meant to be shut

Only one drop of ink

For each wound that's not healing

Once I have claimed the throne

Now it's me who is kneeling

Where eyelids meet, I've locked whole realms

Worlds at my feet, my barren lands

I'm building the house of ink

Self-called king

Stands overthrown and uncrowned

I've built it on my own

Windows closed

Doors always meant to be shut

I rule these wretched walls

Blackened shores

My cage has a beautiful view

Sitting on paper throne

Kingdom gone

But through these bars I see you

I went too far

I fell too deep

I went too far

I fell too deep

I went too far

I fell too deep

I went too far

I fell too deep

I surrender!

My breath and my unease

I surrender!

All but my house of ink

I'm building the house of ink

Self-called king

Stands overthrown and uncrowned

I've built it on my own

Windows closed

Doors always meant to be shut

I rule these wretched walls

Blackened shores

My cage has a beautiful view

Sitting on paper throne

Kingdom gone

But through these bars I see you

I'm building the house of ink

Self-called king

Stands overthrown and uncrowned

I've built it on my own

Windows closed

Doors always meant to be shut

I rule these wretched walls

Blackened shores

My cage has a beautiful view

Sitting on paper throne

Kingdom gone

But through these bars I see you
