a king in my own mind

spinning further and deeper
i know you just want to help me
but i'm not in this to be your slave
push me harder, make me feel
like there's nothing in my world

and then i close my eyes

you judged me then, i used to be afraid
used to be afraid to let it show
but now i can drown the monster
make all the bad dreams go away
i refuse to be your slave

and when i close my eyes

a darkness falls, closing it all out,
brighter than any light of day
in there you cannot touch me
no matter how hard you may try
you judge me now, but i'm not bowed

a king in my own mind
