There's a king upon the throne, he's the king there all alone

He seems troubled and a little sad, just when he thought that he was glad

To be the ruler of the earth, could it be it wasn't worth more than nothing?

From the day that he was born, in his side, there was a thorn

He just couldn't find the key to be happy and be free

He felt forced to wear the crown, slowly, it will drag him down into nothing

One more drink and you are learning how to fly

Everything turns perfect once you reach the sky

Pop another pill, don't wanna leave your dream

Forget about the days of when you swam upstream

And don't you care too much of how you feel inside

It is probably nothing

I never told you 'bout my dream, how I saw us as a team

We would free the universe with a chorus and a verse

We were gonna make a change, but like how every dream is strange, it's also nothing

What was goin' through your mind? What kind of truth did you find?

What did you see from the top that would finally make you stop?

Did it give peace to your soul, like you reached your final goal, or just nothing?

One more drink and you are learning how to fly

Everything turns perfect once you reach the sky

Pop another pill, don't wanna leave your dream

Forget about the days of when you swam upstream

And don't you care too much 'bout what you feel inside

It is probably nothing

On and on, on the road, never-ending

Keep a smile up, make sure you're pretending

It's been a long while since you ate the bait

On and on, you're no fish in the water

But you're slowly on your way to the slaughter

Before you know, everything's too late

One more drink and you are learning how to fly

Everything turns perfect once you reach the sky

Pop another pill, don't wanna leave your dream

Forget about the days of when you swam upstream

And as I hear your song play on the radio

A certain sadness in me always starts to grow

Will I ever understand the reason why?

The melodies make me both wanna smile and cry

And all the things you make me feel inside

Are anything but nothing
