Kingdom Lyrics

It's all black
Your kingdom's turned me black
On paper and on snow
I'm lost but I can't slow
I'm lost but not alone

It's all light
The dark, it burns my eyes
My bones they used to glow
But now, I'm throwing stones
I'm losing where to go

Shadows on my back
I'm moving slow
They twist behind like
White leaves in the wind
And as I ride, these horses will take flight

Falling hard, falling high
Through your arms
Shadows in my head
Don't need no light, they stay through the night

Without you
My lips are turning blue
The water pulls me down
I'm trapped under your sun
This silence feels so loud

I'm locked up
Your kingdom's like a drug
The chains are made of glass
I'm breaking through the blood
I'm never strong enough

Shadows on my back
I'm moving slow
They twist behind like
White leaves in the wind
And as I ride, these horses will take flight

Falling hard, falling high
Through your arms
Shadows in my head
Don't need no light, they stay through the night

To every rose with bloody thorns
It lifts you up, then lets you fall
Two rivers flowing under factory holes
Your kingdom's come, it's waiting still
The space between, you'll never feel
I tried, but I could not change your mind

I danced around
And I lost you now
I breathed you out
I kept you out

But if I could, I'd turn back around

Cover art for Kingdom lyrics by Charli XCX

I don't know why they did this, but these are NOT the lyrics I submitted. I don't know what that lyric find thing is but it's pretty terrible at its job. I've noticed this with other songs I've submitted as well. Here are the correct lyrics:

It's all black Your kingdom's turned me black On paper and on snow I'm lost but I can't slow I'm lost but not alone

It's all light The dark, it burns my eyes My bones they used to glow But now, I'm throwing stones I'm losing where to go

Shadows on my back I'm moving slow They twist behind like White leaves in the wind And as I ride, these horses will take flight

Falling hard, falling high Through your arms Shadows in my head Don't need no light, they stay through the night

Without you My lips are turning blue The water pulls me down I'm trapped under your sun This silence feels so loud

I'm locked up Your kingdom's like a drug The chains are made of glass I'm breaking through the blood I'm never strong enough

Shadows on my back I'm moving slow They twist behind like White leaves in the wind And as I ride, these horses will take flight

Falling hard, falling high Through your arms Shadows in my head Don't need no light, they stay through the night

To every rose with bloody thorns It lifts you up, then lets you fall Two rivers flowing under factory holes Your kingdom's come, it's waiting still The space between, you'll never feel I tried, but I could not change your mind

I danced around And I lost you now I breathed you out I kept you out But if I could, I'd turn back around
