You’re sitting on a throne of glass and dust Building a kingdom out of lust You wear the crown, you play the part While the poison stops your beating heart I see the powder on the table top I’m screaming at you, begging you to stop But you look through me with those hollow eyes And tell me another one of your sweet lies Don't tell me that you love me Don't say I am the one While you are loading up the bullet In the chamber of the gun Step down! Step down from the high! Before we both just fade and die Don't act like a king, don't act like a god You’re just a boy lost in the flood Fight your demons, break the chain Flush the madness down the drain I need the man that you used to be Not this ghost in front of me I remember how you used to taste Before you laid it all to waste Now your skin is cold and wet A stranger that I never met You think the drugs will kill the fear? They only make me disappear I’m standing here, I’m holding out my hand But you are sinking in the sand Don't tell me that you love me! Don't say I am the one! You are staring at the devil And you think that it is fun Step down! Step down from the high! Before we both just fade and die Don't act like a king, don't act like a god You’re just a boy lost in the flood Fight your demons, break the chain Flush the madness down the drain I need the man that you used to be Not this ghost in front of me! I tried to save you. I tried to fight. I stayed awake through the blackest night. But the eyes are empty. The soul is gone. I am afraid you are too far gone. Step down... (It's too late) Step down... (It's too late) Don't act like a king, don't act like a god You’re just a body in the mud Fight your demons? No, let them win. I am done with the discipline. I wanted the man that you used to be... But he is dead in front of me. It's too late for kings. Too late for kings. (Goodbye, Chris.)
