Lyrics

"I am king"

 

I am king  

Over everything 

So get on your knees and tell me all the things I want to hear 

 

I am king 

And I can do anything 

Just give me a reason I’ll destroy them all so you can see 

 

Everybody's waiting for someone to take a stand

But they can't stop giving in to his demands

And they'll stay with him until the bitter end

 

I am king  

So you better worship me 

Tell me you love me then I’ll give you what you want to see 

 

I am king 

And I control everything  

I can do anything and you will still bow down to me 

 

Everybody's waiting for someone to take a stand 

But they can't stop giving in to his demands 

And they'll stay with him until the bitter end

 

I am king 

And I can do anything 

No one can build you up and tear you down as good as me 

 

I am king  

There’s no one as big as me 

Tell em they got just what they asked for when they went with me

 

Everybody's waiting for someone to take a stand 

But they can't stop giving in to his demands 

And they'll stay with him until the bitter end

Background Information

This was the first song that I released and it was recorded at Vinegar Hills Studios in Brooklyn, NY. I also recorded an acoustic version in my home before I'd built up my home recording library (video below). The original idea for the song came out on piano rather than guitar, but it quickly became a straightforward, guitar driven power pop song. Below are pictures from the recording time in Brooklyn.
