lyrics

salt water drips down a vinegar throne
erodes the foundation until it's gone
the castle crumbles and the jester's dead
the king and queen made out like bandits

poisoned soil and blackened skies
you serve the kingdom their demise with a smile
play the lute while the fields all burn
stomach acids start to turn

you duck the consequence
you burn the evidence
keep your crowns with their bloody bloody accents

do you even know your kingdom's name
are you calculating who you can blame?
you're not a leader but you lead me on
eat us alive and then move on

you tweet your highs and you blame your lows
take all you want and then say "it can't be so"
steal like a thief in the dead of night
you got away with it in broad daylight

you duck the consequence
you burn the evidence
keep your crowns with their bloody bloody accents

last verse,
i almost wish i understood how you think
blaming me for all of the problems you bring
crucify me like a sinner in pain
so you can make yourself out to be the saint

have your knights fight to death on the green
tell them you only love the winner of the game
quench the grass with their hopeless blood
while you tell yourself that your rule is good

you duck the consequence
you burn the evidence
keep your crowns with their bloody bloody accents
