Overslept - No Kings Lyrics

Up to my chin in wasted youth
From breaking bread with the likes of you
I can't replace what they took from you
But we can take what's left and make something new

But what do you want me to do
Have two and a half kids and white suburban walls to put my head through
Because complacency looks so much worse on me than it does on you

"It's such a shame," they'll say, "he got in his own way
It's such a shame he paid for mistakes with an interest rate"

The sun's kissing your cheek like it's sweet on you
But the things that you've done are bleeding through
Urban royalty looks down on you
But they're the kings and queens of nothing new

So what do you want me to do
Have two and a half kids and white suburban walls to put my head through
Because complacency looks so much worse on me than it does on you

In shallow waters bodies lie
You won't swim and I know why
Because when fiction bends the will of men
They're never the same again
They're never the same again
