lyrics

Build Me A Crown
copyright john common

My kingdom’s desire
I want to feel more
I want more destruction
Down in my core
Hoist it all up and burn it all down
Seduce me to pieces and build me a crown
Seduce me to pieces and build me a crown

A mean animal
A fish with no pond
A slithering reptile
A lost, dirty swan
And king of the kingdom, a pitiful clown
Seduce me to pieces and build me a crown
Seduce me to pieces and build me a crown

Everyone’s building
Something shiny and true
Nobody gets dirty
But the dirt waits for you
You want a tall building? Then grab a big cup
It takes a deep hole to keep all this up

Promises, wishes
Promises, prayers
Whispered at midnight
Lonely and scared
Use your best magic
Use your last sound
Seduce me to pieces and build me a crown
Seduce me to pieces and build me a crown
