(Whispered) It's King Creed
They say hard times never last
But in mine, it seems endless, rootless
How can I fight when the odds are against me?
They say we start from crawling to walking
But mine is a reverse, I'm just stalling
How can I run when I can't even walk?
Look at what this fake life has turned me into
Even my wife, Rachael, is fed up with me now
I promised you the world, but I'm living in a vow
Broken into pieces, how can I protect you?
When I can't even stand, how can I fight for you?
I don't wanna fall
I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna feel this pain inside
I hope I stand and fight
I hope I stand and win
But I'm full of fears, drowning in the sin
Save me, oh, help me
They point and stare, say "King Creed, look at your life"
Nothing good will come from it, cut by the knife
Rejected by society, cast out by the crowd
Disliked by family, head hanging down in the cloud
My shadow is a stranger that I used to know
Planting bitter seeds, watching sadness grow
Every dollar spent is a memory that fades
Caught in the cycle of these sharp, cold blades
I don't wanna fall
I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna feel this pain inside
I hope I stand and fight
I hope I stand and win
But I'm full of fears, drowning in the sin
Save me, oh, help me
Can you hear the silence in the empty halls?
Echoes of the pictures hanging on the walls
Rachael, can you see the man behind the mask?
It was never enough, that was the only task
I'm reaching out, but the air is too thin
Where does the failure end and the loss begin?
I’m walking through the wreckage of what we called home
Just a king without a castle, left here alone
Maybe the lesson is in the letting go
But my heart is a river with an undertow
I’m tired of the fight, I’m tired of the shame
I’m tired of hearing the sound of my name
If this is the end, let it be quiet and slow
Just watch me wither like the winter snow
I don't wanna fall
I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna feel this pain inside
I hope I stand and fight
I hope I stand and win
But I'm full of fears, drowning in the sin
Save me, oh, help me
It’s over now, the vows are dust
Gone is the faith, gone is the trust
Just King Creed, fading in the light
Goodnight to the day, welcome to the night
(Whispered) Save me.
