Kingdom -

Shallow pitfalls of sadness

Catch the footfalls of followers we seek

In the safety of houses

We’ve sowed more than we’ll reap

Kingdom it falls with the madness

As we fight for the money we can’t keep

In our race for survival

We borrowed more than needed

We were so distracted

On the edge

We laughed about falling through

You said I should have opened my eyes

I was terrified of what I might find

You said I should have opened my eyes

I was terrified of what I might find

Aching from all of the strictures we keep

From the company whose kitchens we admire

We’re given no rest

We’re allowed no peace of mind

We were so distracted

On the edge

Slowly we swallowed our wine

You said I should have opened my eyes

I was terrified of what I might find

You said I should have opened my eyes

I was terrified of what I might find

I never intended to pull the two of us

Into this divide

Now bitter and fractured we divvy up the loss

And bury our lies

You said I should have opened my eyes

I was terrified of what I might find

You said I should have opened my eyes

I was terrified of what I might find
