King of Nowhere
Clever Lyrics

There's a place for everything
Every situation has its rightful place

We never had everything in place
We never had all the necessary elements aligned

But I don't wanna take my life over the rain
I don't want to let my emotions control me to the point of despair

But you know if I love white roses and all the red roses
You know that I appreciate different types of love, regardless of its form

What does the color matter if they're just dead roses?
The color of love doesn't matter if the love itself is lifeless

What does it take to see 'em both the same?
What do we need to do to perceive all types of love equally?

Yeah, well, the rain may fall and hide my tears
The external struggles may mask my inner emotional turmoil

The way we lose sight of the years
We often lose track of time and fail to appreciate the passing years

But I still know you're there
But I still have faith in your presence

Yeah, I still feel you there
Yeah, I still sense your existence

And though I smile and lie awake
Even though I put on a happy facade while lying awake

And think about all my mistakes
And reflect on all the errors I've made

And I know who I am
And I have a clear understanding of my identity

You ain't gotta tell me who I am
You don't need to define my identity to me

And don't you know that objects in the mirror
And don't you realize that reflections in the mirror

May be more depressed than they appear?
May conceal deeper sadness than they seem to show?

If it helps to hold the truth, then lie to me, yeah
If lying provides comfort and solace, then deceive me, yeah

Ooh, but if I'm not the chosen one
Oh, but if I'm not the favored individual

Then please don't tell my loaded gun
Then please don't inform my gun, which symbolizes self-destruction

Tell 'em all other kings I tried to be the King of Nowhere
Tell everyone that I attempted to portray myself as the ruler of emptiness

The King of Nowhere, oh
The supreme authority in a realm devoid of purpose, oh

Up against the wind, I feel the fear, yeah
Facing hardship and adversity, I experience fear, yeah

Standing on the edge, the end is near
Being on the verge of something crucial, the conclusion is imminent

Ooh, the waves keep splashing off the rocks
The waves constantly crash against the rocks

You watched as I left from the dock
You observed my departure from the dock

And dropped a single tear, just wishin' I was here
And shed a solitary tear, longing for my presence

And I guess I must've caught your eye
And I suppose I must have attracted your attention

The moment I just walked on by
The instant I simply passed by

And you saw that I was down
And you noticed that I was feeling low

But you still saw my crown
Yet, you still recognized my worth and significance

And don't you know that objects in the mirror
And don't you realize that reflections in the mirror

May be more depressed than they appear?
May conceal deeper sadness than they seem to show?

If it helps to hold the truth, then lie to me, yeah
If lying provides comfort and solace, then deceive me, yeah

Oh, but I'm not the chosen one
Oh, but I'm not the favored individual

Then please don't tell my loaded gun
Then please don't inform my gun, which symbolizes self-destruction

Tell 'em all other kings I tried to be the King of Nowhere
Tell everyone that I attempted to portray myself as the ruler of emptiness

Yeah, the King of Nowhere, oh
Yeah, the supreme authority in a realm devoid of purpose, oh
