Lyrics:
You put my finger on the trigger of an automatic weapon
my feet planted in hell while the branches reach for heaven
absent in the present while my presence searches for relevance
beauty's in the eye of the beholder, and you were elegant
I tell of it as if this all happened so long ago,
memories ricochet off of these piano notes
astonishing how quickly it can all turn to nostalgia
They'll wrap you up in linen before you realize you're in bondage
a pharaohs carcass still decays inside a pyramid
entangled by everything that ever had worth to him
and now here you are, lying right next to me
your face towards my face and I feel like a king
maybe tonight we'll lie together, die together
in the morning if we resurrect, we'll rise together
I treasure what I have now, from my tomb it can't be taken
but if i close my eye's tonight i might never awaken

hook:
Nothing is forever
When you're all alone
Nothing is for real
if you don't know yourself
nothing makes it better
When you're all alone
Nobody by your side on a cold throne

and why rule the world if your all alone
Can't claim to be a King when you don't know yourself
I'm the king over nothing If I rule alone
Nobody by my side on a Cold Throne

and the world is full of beautiful people
but beautiful people can be full of unequaled evil
I seriously doubt the devil ever spends his time on me
I can trick myself well enough without his deceit
she says she prays, but doesn't really believe
I believe but I don't pray, so I don't achieve
any of these goals or high standards that I set out with
I was trapped inside the callous crimes of cowards looking for passions
i've been masking all my inactions by focusing on the distractions
while the ashes of past disasters flashes around me without impacting
You could learn from your mistakes or just continue to make the same
mistakes that you've always made repeat again till you go insane
and I am stuck in that cycle just fighting for survival
If life has trials then I've been tried and tried again, not in denial
i'm not a lover or a fighter, struck with the venom of the viper
and the poison that's within me doesn't subside when I'm beside her

I heard that chivalry died with a knife in its back
alone in my zone with no hope in this glass
born a prince in a land where the sun never sets
like a dragon when I'm packing the scent of smoke on my breath
I thought you made the Impossible possible
I thought you made the illogical logical
I thought this maze was the opposite of an obstacle
but the options show that i lost my soul and i dont know what I lost it for
feel like i've been on this throne for a millennium
sold my soul for any sum to the pretty face of anyone
parading through the darkness on a chariot of haste
and you could be my date in a life full of waste
wait...

nothing is forever
nothing is for real
nothing makes it better
and nothing ever will

and why rule the world if your all alone
Can't claim to be a King when you don't know yourself
I'm the king over nothing If I rule alone
Nobody by my side on a Cold Throne
