We Could Be Kings Lyrics - Devour - Dave Hause

So this is rejection 

And it's bringing you down 

He told you that he'd find work soon 

Then he stopped coming around 

That was the summer of sweet nights 

He used to take you for rides 

But it all changed in the backseat 

When he came inside 

Well I've seen enough to know he's old enough to know 

His right from wrong 

But I know how hard it is to see things through 

Oh no did it rip you apart 

To be told we could be kings when we were damned from the start? 

Oh no did it rip you apart 

They told us we could be kings when we were damned, damned from the start

You told him you loved him 

But push had come to shove 

And there are no easy answers 

Mixing money and blood 

He was too young to know better 

And we were all unemployed 

The sergeant promised a cake walk 

But then he got deployed 

I've seen enough, enough to know 

It's not about which side you're on 

I know how hard it is to keep it in 

Oh no did it rip you apart 

To be told we could be kings when we were damned from the start? 

I know that it ripped you apart 

They told us we could be kings when we were damned, damned from the start

We've been living to the left of the dial 

Hoping drinks and denial can keep us here 

I'm not promising you some bright side 

Or trying to break your stride 

But you asked me, you asked me 

He was gone in an instant 

They said nobody was spared 

Not gonna tell you he loved you 

Not gonna tell you he cared 

(You asked me, you asked me) 

Well I've seen enough, enough to know 

Sometimes with the truth you gotta let it go 

I know how hard it is to keep it in 

(You asked me, you asked me) 

(You asked me) 

I won't go and rip you apart 

Won't tell you "you could be king" 

I don't want to break your heart 

I won't go and rip you apart 

So open wide and just sing 

'Cause we're all damned 

Open wide and just sing 

'Cause we're all damned, damned from the start 

We're damned from the start
