The King of Nothing

My hands close on glass,

the pain comes but it doesn't pass.

My tears fall on this ripped up shirt,

I'm tired of it all, tired of bein' dirt.

The floor's caving in under me,

She's always saving him over me.

(Chorus)

I'm tearing out my eyes,

and watchin' me bleed.

No matter all my tries,

the words are too blurred to read.

I'm ripping out my hair,

trying to sing.

I'm sitting in a broken chair,

'cause I'm a broken king,

I'm the king of nothing...

I'm the king of nothing...

(2nd verse)

I haven't gotten new clothes in a couple years,

but that's the least of my problems with all my tears.

My heart is achin',

my mind is racin'.

Once I get a good thing it's always taken.

(chorus)

I'm tearing out my eyes,

and watchin' me bleed.

No matter all my tries,

the words are too blurred to read.

I'm ripping out my hair,

tryin' to sing.

I'm sitting in a broken chair,

'cause I'm the broken king.

I'm the king of nothing...

I'm the king of nothing...

(3rd verse)

Mom's never home,

Dad keeps to himself.

I'm always alone,

like the only book on the shelf.

And i'm feelin' so cold,

and i'm feelin' so old.

(Chorus)

I'm tearing out my eyes,

and watchin' me bleed.

No matter all my tries,

the words are too blurred to read.

I'm ripping out my hair,

tryin' to sing.

I'm sitting in a broken chair,

'cause I'm the broken king.

I'm the king of nothing...

I'm the king of nothing...

(end chorus)

The king of nothing.
