Starved - King of Nothing Lyrics

I am starved
From the warmth of man
Of human connection
My chest is abandoned
Searching, oasis I'm blind
My table is empty and open for court
You may commandeer
I'm the beast of burden
Don't let me die
The king of sand
Lost in the desert
Dying of thirst and
Cursed with a silver tongue
A king no joy
None loyal to the throne
King with no purpose
No palace, no throne
King of nothing
Ruling the land of the nil

I am a son of the valley
Hate in my heart, and a thorn in my side
I am a son of the valley
King of sand, and the kingdom of nothing
I am a son of the valley
Can't control the rapid rhythm in my chest

I have nothing
Such a powerful voice
With nothing to say
To my dismay
In the desert I stay
My feet are blistered
My eyes fill with tears
A voyage to my greatest fears
The burning of the earth is near
I wander
Scorched Earth and sun
Waiting for my time to come, the hunt for love and truth is done
I can't build
My garden won't grow
The skies are so grey I'll always go broke

To die alone
The great fear of man
Too loose with my life
Pain is this land
I cannot endure
The pain in my chest
I'll die by my hand
I think that is best
Living alone
The law of the land
I'll wander the desert with nothing to mend
The king of nothing
Ruling to none
The valley of nothing
He's lost everyone
Dying of thirst and alone is this king
He wanders with hardship they won't kiss his ring
He only tells lies
Never speaking the truth
He spends all his life
Making anew
