King Beneath The Myth

Oh
I'm scared to talk to you
But that's nothin' new
You do that to everyone you meet
You pull 'em in with those sharp smiles
And your gold blood
And they don't see the ruin underneath

You say
Baby
If you really knew me
You'd be runnin' from me like a banshee

And
Oh
I'm the king beneath the myth
Casting angels underneath
All these prayers burning in me
I'm the king beneath the myth
And my throne's made of secrets
Every kingdom has a weakness

Oh
And they all worship you
The kingdom on their knees
Your reign will last a thousand years
Or at least as long as porcelain doesn't decay
And I'm afraid of you
But that's nothin' new
You say
Baby
There's nothin' left to fear

And you say
Baby
If you really knew me
You'd be runnin' from me like a banshee

And
Oh
I'm the king beneath the myth
Casting angels underneath
All these prayers burning in me
I'm the king beneath the myth
And my throne's made of secrets
Every kingdom has a weakness
