Not for Me - The Kings Dead

Ballads are being sang But not for me Church bells are being rang But not for me I am without love But I don't doubt love can be Warm and tender for some But not for me Poems are being read But not for me Prayers are being said But not for me I've never known love Won't been shown love, you see And baby there is such a thing But not for me So let all of your singers a-sing But not for me And let all of your church bells a-ring But not for me And if tomorrow All your sorrows should begin Just like mine then you'll cry But not for me No, not me Never for me

Dirty sunrise creepin' in Broken bottles gilled within The room is black; the blinds are drawn I don't remember anything What I've done or where I've been Another night has come and gone This is not for me No This is not for me No This life is not for me No This is not for me No Anymore The Devil smiles and laughs at me Says, "You'll be back; just wait and see You know I've heard this all before" And I said, "You can take your high life in the hills Your cocaine lies and whiskey thrills I don't need you anymore" This is not for me No This is not for me No This life is not for me No This is not for me No Oh The only thing that makes me whole again Is to stand right here before you in the sun Yeah Oh I keep runnin' 'til the very end For the life I've lived Is not the life I want Dirty sunrise creepin' in Broken bottles gilled within In a place I don't belong This is not for me No This is not for me No This life is not for me No This life is not for me No Anymore Yeah You can keep your life I don't want anymore I'm gonna leave it all behind, yeah I'm gonna leave it all behind, yeah I don't want no more Don't want no more Yeah

They're writing songs of love - but not for me A lucky star's above - but not for me With love to lead the way I've found more clouds of gray Than any Russian play - can guarantee I was a fool to fall - and get this way Ah ho alas and awe - so lackaday Although I can't dismiss The memory of her kiss I guess she's not - she's not for me Old man sunshine - listen you Never tell me dreams come true Just try it - and all start a riot Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare Ever tell me she will care I'm certain - it's the final curtain I never want to here from any Cheerful Polly-Anna's Who tell you fate supplies a Mate - it's all bananas It all began so well - but what an end This is the time - a fellow needs a friend When every happy plot Ends with a marriage knot And there's no knot, no (k)not for me

They're writing songs of love But not for me, A lucky star's above With love to lead the way, I've found more clouds of gray Than any Russian play Can guarantee I was a fool to fall And get that way; Hi ho alas and also lackaday Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss I guess he's not He's not for me

Ruby red jewelry, she looking like she bloody, It's just me, irene and mary, cruisin listening to Cudi. And it's funny, 'cause the dashboard lit up, Cop pulled us over, baby, you should sit up. And I'm sick of all these rappers, talking stupid shit, stupid shit, Make 'em pay attention so you can google it, google it. Me and Alexander had a plan to make the world shake, What you'd call that? Earthquake. Bow down to some kings, everybody rap now, niggas, don't think But what you call this shit, this shit here, top ten play, maybe album of the year. Bow down to some kings, everybody rap now, niggas, don't think But what you call this shit, this shit here, top ten play, maybe album of the year. Album of the year. album of the year, album of the year, album of the year. Welcome to the world of no shame, the clubs are all lame, A couple skinny bitches and drugs with no name. The universe made us, these niggas hate us, Argue bout favorites, too busy to make it, Too busy, I'm aiming, who's coming, I'm waiting Salvador Dali hardly as amazing Flow covers the truth, the show covers the booth My religion's universal, heard a lot of blues. Made a promise to my uncle, you gon get the car you wanted, You should probably ghost write, you don't make that shit look haunted Shout to moses for the vibe, alah for the verses, A christian and a muslim make a motherfucker perfect.

Waking up and I'm leaning, always up to no good, But my better half got some juice, being a king in my blood. All my niggas say hey, hey, yo look, tha's what's-his-face with your girl. I'm like who, what, where, when, how? Why that nigga? Well, get whooped. Not a fuck to give, not one, nigga. Run, I got no gun But I will get physical, real pitiful, high-fives on the po-poe's interviews. Like shit, I kicked this ass, hit the dash, rip it fast, club hopping, Christmas shopping, Popping sannies in a coffin. Well coffin, not belong and I emptied up my fucking funs, For the day I switched to kids just for giggles, ha, ha, shit. What a gun got caught back, run that, don't fuck with a nigga when he wake up, I'm my own damn cop like Jacob, fuck this food, I hate my waiter. But I made a sweet as long, hate this song, hit this bong, Getting ripped and open up, take a bit of this and fuck your drugs, But I made us wait this long, hate this song, hit this bong, Getting ripped and open up, take a bit of this and fuck your drugs. Dinner on a movie set, fucking in your trailer, You got trippy off these fucking drugs, guess I'll be your savior. You should feed me when you need me, baby, food for thought, It's the last time you gonna use me, I get used a lot Dinner on a movie set, fucking in your trailer, You got trippy off these fucking drugs, guess I'll be your savior. You should feed me when you need me, baby, food for thought, It's the last time you gonna use me, I get used a lot. Man, I swear sometimes I feel like I'm just crazy rapping, foolish talking nonsense up my ass And no one pressure me to do it. I was told to pay attention, freestyle and chase the money, Well, that combo doesn't matter when you're up and always raining. I had dreams of talking shit, whipping ass with twenty dollars, If it means I coexist with shitty deals and plenty office, If this office is in John Carter's, I don't think it matters, 'Cause I step into the building like I own it, why you laughing? I was gasing up my fuel, the coolest kids don't play my shit, boy, And Mikey rocks this cop to lose it up, will come up, good boy. 'Cause niggas out in Paris don't go turkey when they hit us, A thanks for giving hope to everything that we believe in, I just seen enough in Edinburgh, who met a fucking goddess, If you're honest you know as long is out Jesus fucking started. And if Moses parted seas I believe he needs a holyday, So fuck Santa Clause, food for thought, eat your heart away. Then, there, on the movie set, fucking in your trailer, You got trippy out these fucking drugs, guess I'll be your savior. You should feed me when you need me, baby, food for thought, It's the last time you gonna use me, I got used a lot. Then, there, on the movie set, fucking in your trailer, You got trippy out these fucking drugs, guess I'll be your savior. You should feed me when you need me, baby, food for thought, It's the last time you gonna use me, I got used a lot.
