Kingdom of Ten Thousand Things

Kingdom of Ten Thousand Things

Verse 1

Kingdom of ten thousand things

Rock, paper, scissors

Winners, losers and those who don't compete

Flaunt your strengths, disguise your weaknesses

How you want to be perceived must always be seen

Verse 2

Kingdom of ten thousand things

Rock, paper, scissors

Leaders, followers and those on the sidelines

Speak of your creed and your idols

Let us cast votes to decide 

Who gets a chance at survival

Black and white and grey

Everything else in between that's open to interpretation

Based on facts or intuition

Build a case

Then watch it fall down like a deck of cards

Bridge

The weight of the world could bury me into the ground

Only if I wanted it to

The height of my fears could swallow me whole

If it wasn't for simple truths and illusions

Kingdom of ten thousand things

Winners, losers, leaders, followers

And all who are nameless

Remind us who you all are

Chorus

Whisper into my ears

The sweetest dreams you've conjured up

Fill my head with fairy tales

Disarm me with your glare

And soon enough your touch will be all that I'll ever want
