This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdome come
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood's runs stale
I want to hide the truth
I want to shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
I'm waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals
I'm breaking in, I'm shaping up,
Then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa oh
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
So this is what you meant
When you said that you were spent
And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit
Right to the top
Don't hold back
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain-check
I don't ever wanna let you down
I don't ever wanna leave this town
'Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night
It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger then this I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
I'm on top of the world, 'ay
I'm on top of the world, 'ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
'Cause I'm on top of the world
If you love somebody
Better tell them while they're here 'cause
They just may run away from you
You'll never know quite when, well
Then again it just depends on
How long of time is left for you
I've climbed the highest mountains
I've had the deepest rivers
You can have it all but life keeps moving
I take it in but don't look down
I'm on top of the world, 'ay
I'm on top of the world, 'ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
'Cause I've been waiting to smile, 'ay
Been holding it in for a while, 'ay
Taking you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
And I know it's hard when you're falling down
And it's a long way up when you hit the ground
Get up now, get up, get up now
And I know it's hard when you're falling down
And it's a long way up when you hit the ground
Get up now, get up, get up now
I'm on top of the world, 'ay
I'm on top of the world, 'ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
'Cause I've been waiting to smile, 'ay
Been holding it in for a while, 'ay
Taking you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
'Cause I'm on top of the world
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
