PAIN CONFESSOR LYRICS
"Poor Man's Crown" (2004 Single)
1. Poor Man's Crown
2. Lake of Regret
1. Poor Man's Crown
I love the rain
the tears heaven cries for I cannot cry myself
I gaze at the rain
and the pleasure pierces through my mind
The fall that sweeps away all woes off my troubled brow
In waiting my hopes lie
hope to pass on my thorned crown
to another king of nothingness
to rule the court that suffocates their heirs
My soul wasn't worth much when
I sold it to become someone
Now all I have is a poor man's crown
They said he bought respect
one couldn't earn in a lifetime
They chased him down and drove their envy through his heart
They found no glory there, no wealth and no honor
Only a tired man holding on to his smile
2. Lake of Regret
Respect, we breathe it like a drowning man drawing his last breath
Regret, we washed away our religions in the lake of regret
Shallow, shallow minds do horrible deeds
Eyes sewn shut through anguish, betrayal taught through pain
never ending dream to wash away our religions
I never say that is a dream
I wash my purity away in the Lake of Regret
Belief, the deeper it goes the less it matters what you believe in
Never forget that you are your own god
Shallow, shallow minds do horrible deeds
My faith will never rise from the lake of regret
All this holiness
that you regreted
Let cold water wash away
this man made god
