The Wreck - I Am King

Right now

I’m on the outs

I can’t breathe

I cannot cleanse my soul

It’s not a matter of fate

It’s just a question of time

You give me space and I take miles

All the crossroads I’ve denied

Why do I keep doing this to myself?

I keep on setting fires

You think i’d learn by now

But the chaos helps me sort things out

At a point of contention between faith and doubt

Mental drought

I keep on setting fires

And everything around me burns

Choking on the ashes of my past

I know

You know

That I know

I can’t breathe

I can’t breathe

I’m a wreck

I am a wreck

And I can’t breathe

I can’t breathe

Maybe someday i’ll change and grow out of this phase

And use the tears to extinguish the flames

But I’m on the outside

Looking in

Someday

Maybe someday

I’ll change

I keep on setting fires

I keep on setting fires

I can’t stop

No i can’t stop myself from losing grip

I keep on setting fires

I keep on setting fires

I can’t stop

No I can’t find my own way out of this hole

The wreckage of my broken soul

Litters the streets of the town that I love

And oh

Winter brings pain you’ll never know

Grieving it after the snow begins to fall

I can’t stop setting those fires

The wreckage of my broken soul

Litters the streets of the town that I love

Moving too fast but I think too slow

I need the heat

I don’t need the cold

I can’t stop setting those fires
