Royal Beggars

Royal beggars

Do you wanna live forever?

Alone

Alone

Alone

‘Cos we’re broken

All hope is dead

But we’re coping

Somebody save our souls

Like a bird in a cage

Trying to fly away

Is this the price that we have to pay?

Overflowing with rage

Yet we still obey

‘Cos we’re asleep in a hurricane

Bitter lovers

Let go

‘Cos it’s now or never

Breathe in

Breathe out

Breathe in

‘Cos we’re choking

And left for dead

But we’re coping

Somebody save our souls

Are you listening?

You may not have noticed

We have totally lost our way

Are you lost in the clouds?

Or can you hold your focus?

It’s ourselves that we will betray

We sit on a throne waiting for god to bend the knee

But we’re nothing more than

Royal beggars

But I’m as guilty as the next man

Our eyes are open, but we’re not listening
