My Statue’s a Lie

Lyrics

[Refrain:] My kingdom is small and my statue's a lie If you wanna see the truth, you can look me in the eye Said, my kingdom is small and my statue's a lie If you wanna see the truth, you can look me in the eye [Verse 1:] This wall I have constructed is larger than myself And I only really meant for it to be the one to tell That I'm better than the rest of all the peasants in the town I can tell 'em to fuck off, or I can burn 'em to the ground I don't ask for your respect, merely a sign that you have bought This construction I have worked on to create what I am not It's an ego trip in wonderland, but not on LSD I don't need to fool myself to alter reality [Refrain:] I said my kingdom is small and my statue's a lie If you wanna see the truth, you can look me in the eye Said, my kingdom is small and my statue's a lie If you wanna see the truth, just look me in the eye [Verse 2:] No drunkard's gonna tell me how to be the way I am I don't need that grade school bullshit to define what I command I am better than I know that I could ever really be And I'm not gonna budge if you don't know that I am me I reflect all of the truth that I know within my head 'Cause if I let you know I'm weak then I'll defy what I have said You can't expose me as a liar if you never even know So I sit here in my castle with a memory to show that [Refrain:] My kingdom is small and my statue's a lie If you wanna see the truth, you can look me in the eye I said, my kingdom is small and my statue's a lie If you wanna see the truth, you can look me in the eye [Pre-Chorus:] Tear down the walls Find that I'm pretty pathetic It won't be that hard [Chorus:] My kingdom is small and my statue's a lie If you wanna see the truth, you can look me in the eye I said, my kingdom is small and my statue's a lie If you wanna see the truth, you can look me in the eye Said, my kingdom is small and my statue's a lie If you wanna see the truth, you can look me in the eye I said, my kingdom is small and my statue's a lie If you wanna see the truth, you can look me in the eye Tear down the walls! [Outro:] In a matter of speaking
