[Verse 1]

Grey sky man is talking to the sidewalk once again

Your perfect vision of the world, it goes unheard

As the rain falls down on your head

It slips inside the cracks of another fruitless day

Here in the land of King Alvarez


[Verse 2]

You're losing once again, it's getting harder to survive

When the world that's all around you just don't seem to care

And the universe you've built for yourself is caving in right on you

And the streets are getting colder than they used to be these days and now


[Verse 3]

I see you walking down the boulevard alone

And you're screaming at the top of your lungs all night

And I wonder to myself how did you get to be this king without a throne

It's just another sunny day here in the land of Babylon

To see the things that no one sees

To hear the lies that no one tells

It's getting lonely in this place

Getting tired of it all


[Verse 4]

I've wondered to myself how many times he's cracked inside

Screaming at the top of your lungs and now

The voices in your head keep getting louder

With the passing of each day


[Bridge]

It's getting harder to go on

I don't know what you don't know

You wouldn't play that game the same

You wouldn't play that game at all


[Guitar Solo]


[Outro]

As the rain falls down on your head, it slips

Inside the cracks of another fruitless day here in the land of Alvarez
