King of the Castle

Wasting time,
Wasting time,
Wasting time,
I'm only king for 30 more minutes.

Until the house gets smaller,
And the voices get louder,
And the air gets warmer,
When I have to be a son and a brother again.

Scraping by,
Scraping by,
Scraping by,
This castle's mine for 20 more minutes.

Solitude crowns me,
Silence enthrones me,
I do as I please,
Until the doors unlock once more.

Chasing highs,
Chasing highs,
Chasing highs,
I hold the crown for 10 more measly minutes

Hedonistic paradise
Free to indulge and imbibe
Only while I am alone
Now I hear the door click open, and I'm no longer me
