King for a Day
Pierce The Veil Lyrics

Dare me to jump off of this Jersey bridge
Challenge me to take a risk and jump off this bridge in New Jersey.

I bet you never had a Friday night like this
I'm sure you've never experienced a Friday night like this before.

Keep it up, keep it up, let's raise our hands
Continue to make noise and raise your hands in celebration.

I take a look up at the sky and I see
When I look up at the sky, I see...

Red for the cancer, red for the wealthy
I see red, which symbolizes both cancer and wealth.

Red for the drink that's mixed with suicide
Red also represents the drink that's mixed with suicide.

Everything red
Everything I see is colored red.

Please, won't you push me for the last time
I'm asking you to give me one final push.

Let's scream until there's nothing left
Let's shout and scream until we can't do it anymore.

So sick of playing, I don't want this anymore
I'm tired of going through the motions and I don't want this anymore.

The thought of you's no fucking fun
I'm not having any fun thinking about you.

You want a martyr, I'll be one
You want someone to sacrifice themselves for a cause, I'll be that person.

Because enough's enough, we're done
We've reached our limit and it's time to call it quits.

You told me think about it, well I did
You advised me to think about it and I did.

Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I no longer want to feel any emotions.

I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm exhausted from asking for the things I desire.

I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
I'm done with sleeping on the floor like a dog.

The thing I think I love
I believe that I love something.

Will surely bring me pain
However, that thing will most likely cause me pain.

Intoxication, paranoia and a lot of fame
The things that accompany that love are intoxication, paranoia, and fame.

Three cheers for throwing up
Hooray for throwing up (sarcastic).

Pubescent drama queen
Referring to someone as a drama queen who is still going through puberty.

You make me sick, I make it worse by drinking late
You make me feel terrible, and I exacerbate that feeling by drinking alcohol late at night.

Imagine living like a king someday
Picture a life where you are living like royalty.

A single night without a ghost in the walls
A night where you are not haunted by your fears and doubts.

And if the bass shakes the earth underground
If the music has such an impact that it shakes the earth below us.

We'll start a new revolution now
We will begin a new movement to change things.

(Now Alright here we go)
It's time to get started.

Hail Mary, forgive me
An expression of asking for forgiveness from a higher power.

Blood for blood, hearts beating
I'll give as much as it takes to succeed, and my heart is still beating.

Come at me, now this is war
Bring it on, this is a battle.

Fuck with this new beat, oh
Don't mess with this new sound/beat, oh.

Now terror begins inside a bloodless vein
The feeling of terror starts in a vein that no longer carries blood (meaning the emotion is so strong, it's like it's coming from a dead part of my body).

I was just a product of the street youth rage
I grew up in an environment where the youth were angry and full of energy.

Born in this world without a voice or say
I was born into this world with no power or say in what happens to me.

Caught in the spokes with an abandoned brain
Stuck in a difficult situation with a deserted or tired mind.

I know you well but this ain't a game
I'm familiar with you, but this is not a playful situation.

Blow the smoke in diamond shape
Exhale the smoke in a diamond shape.

Dying is a gift so close your eyes and rest in peace
Dying is something that should be appreciated, so just relax and close your eyes.

We are the shadows screaming take us now
We are like ghosts screaming to be taken away from this life.

We'd rather die than live to rust on the ground, shit
We would rather die than spend our lives wasting away on the ground.
