Kingdom Within

[Verse 1]

And I'll try to leave the party

While I'm still having fun

But such a taste still keens, for the nibble has been

On the finest of afternoons

[Verse 2]

And where will you leave your sorrow?

Buried like coins of gold

On a chain to wear that's quite heavy to bear

For the finest of afternoons

[Chorus]

There's a shiver that runs through you

Though your quiver of life is full

Even darling buds die and rivers run dry

On the finest of afternoons

[Verse 3]

Why wear your tourniquet here?

Why would you tame your love?

But there were things in you that I never once knew

On the finest of afternoons

[Verse 4]

Did you taste the water?

Or was it filtered through?

When you did, you knew that the struggle was true

On the finest of afternoons

[Chorus]

There's a shiver that runs through you

Like the longing for something new

Even darling buds die and rivers run dry

On the finest of afternoons

[Bridge]

So how will you make your confessions?

With no kingdom within, such a rudderless thing we become

To see (To see)

To see such a simple condition

And I think that someone like you

Should've figured that out all along

[Chorus]

There's a shiver that runs through you

Like a quiver of love's first bloom

Even darling buds die and rivers run dry

On the finest of afternoons

[Outro]

And the river wants what, the river wants what

Will sever those ties for you

But in these terrible times, the pliant might find

The finest of afternoons
