Pierce The Veil - King for a Day (ft. Kellin Quinn) | Lyrics

King for a Day by Pierce The Veil
Collide with the Sky (2012)
Lyrics:
[Verse 1: Vic Fuentes & Kellin Quinn]
Dare me to jump off of this Jersey bridge
I bet you never had a Friday night like this
Keep it up, keep it up, let's raise our hands
I take a look up at the sky and I see red
Red for the cancer, red for the wealthy
Red for the drink that's mixed with suicide
Everything red

[Pre-Chorus: Kellin Quinn]
Please, won't you push me for the last time?
Let's scream until there's nothing left
So sick of playing, I don't want this anymore
The thought of you's no fucking fun
You want a martyr, I'll be one
Because enough's enough, we're done

[Chorus: Vic Fuentes]
You told me, "Think about it," well, I did
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor

[Post-Chorus: Vic Fuentes]
Yeah

[Verse 2: Vic Fuentes]
The thing I think I love will surely bring me pain
Intoxication, paranoia and a lot of fame
Three cheers for throwing up, pubescent drama queen
You make me sick, I make it worse by drinking late

[Pre-Chorus: Kellin Quinn]
Scream, scream, scream, scream
Scream, scream until there's nothing left
So sick of playing, I don't want to anymore
The thought of you's no fucking fun
You want a martyr, I'll be one
Because enough's enough, we're done

[Chorus: Vic Fuentes & Kellin Quinn]
You told me, "Think about it," well, I did (Well, I did)
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
Imagine living like a king someday
A single night without a ghost in the walls
And if the bass shakes the earth underground
We'll start a new revolution now
Now!

[Post-Chorus: Kellin Quinn]
Alright, here we go

[Bridge: Vic Fuentes]
Hail Mary, forgive me
Blood for blood, hearts beating
Come at me, now this is war
Fuck with this new beat, oh

[Breakdown: Vic Fuentes & Kellin Quinn]
Now terror begins inside a bloodless vein
I was just a product of the street youth rage
Born in this world without a voice or say
Caught in the spokes with an abandoned brain
I know you well, but this ain't a game
Blow the smoke in diamond shape
Dying is a gift, so close your eyes
And rest in peace

[Chorus: Vic Fuentes & Kellin Quinn]
You told me, "Think about it," well, I did
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
Imagine living like a king someday
A single night without a ghost in the walls
We are the shadows screaming, "Take us now!"
We'd rather die than live to rust on the ground

[Outro: Vic Fuentes]
Shit

My mom was a scene kid and my dad was emo so here I am, their emo daughter listening to this at 4:15 am because it’s nostalgic

[KCCRAYZ]

i love this song, i listened to it way before i was on tiktok. but why does it matter where said person has heard the song from,
as long as they enjoy it?

[nopesters]

My dad is so confused with my playlists bc they always have one pop song, Cupid for example, and then they have that one emo rock song that I could never ever get rid of. Obviously this :)

[mikeyjones]

I listen to this on loop to sleep because ✨insomnia✨ but I love this song so much

[JustSomboy]

2:25 is one of my favorites but 0:08 is my most favorite of all time. It just sounds so angry and i love it

[claudia-kytg]

3:18 has my heart this is the best thing ever !!! <3

[SkilasSkilasGaming]

Takes me back to my middle school days, going skating and the mall and all that. I was in my little emo punk phase, now I’m 22, time flies..

[jesseclary]

Oh My God where had this song been my whole life. I remember hearing this for the first time in the last three months. And have fallen in love with this band.

[Shelly_bearrrrr]

I'm not emo but I absolutely love this song

[NeidenHalffur]

I'm not a fan of songs of this music genre, but this is FIRE 🔥🔥🔥
Ps: I'm in love with Kellin Quinn's voice, it's so sweet and clean.

[lanagoncalvesjordao]

This chorus rips my heart apart just how my loved one did

[ZZOMBIEGUTZZ]

[Slipknot_life]

Fr *YELLING* the lyrics rn

[SLLYBYX]

I really like the way he can change his voice from yelling to so smoothly, my favorite part is on the last "Imagine living like a king someday" where he sort of yells at the start and at "someday" it's literally so smooth. pure talent 3:35

[justtalking]

All these young kids discovering this song is healing my inner 13 year old. The memories attached to this song hurt my head lol.
