Fit For A King - Selfish Eyes Lyrics






I slam the door in my own face again
To see if I will ever change the feeling
I separate from my body
Simply just lost in my mind

If I walk and find a stone
Break it open to find my own gold
Making riches out of nothing
There is one thing, the way it's spent
Is the challenge or we'll have nothing left

Fill my stomach with bags of salt
Dissolve like a slug but you know it's your fault
But once my remains are left on the floor
I'll blossom like a flower and become a whole

Do you love, when you're breaking at the seams?
Do you love, when you forget what it means?
Do you love, when you have nothing?
An empty pocket doesn't hurt as much as an empty chest

Fill my stomach with bags of salt
Dissolve like a slug but you know it's your fault
But once my remains are left on the floor
I'll blossom like a flower and become a whole

So break the bread and offer up
The ones you cared for and loved enough
Because you gave up your water for a fifth of gin
You're like a sailboat with no captain or wind

Fill my stomach with bags of salt
Dissolve like a slug but you know it's your fault
But once my remains are left on the floor
I'll blossom like a flower and become a whole

  10. m.... ....

    who sings in this song?

    m.... ....

    The bassist, Tuck. The dude they had join the band to replace their old clean vocalist. Dunno why he isn't singing all the clean parts in the new album. His voice is so much more refined than Ryan's.

  11. S.... V....

    We need a new album so bad. I just love this band's music, I'm atheist but I love them so much

    S.... V....

    Hey man, atheist doesn't mean you can't appreciate their music! I was an atheist when I discovered Wolves at the Gate and For Today. Many Christian bands make excellent music! :)

  12. N.... S....

    those intro guitar rifts...that shit gives me chills!!! AHHH!!!

  13. L.... W....

    @Max Wrye
    Good to know. Honestly I like it more naturally.

    M.... W....

    +Max Wrye Thank You :) One of the best songs ever wrote in my opinion.

    M.... W....

    Wow thank you for linking this. I never would have found it. I love the album version but this version might be my new favorite

    M.... W....

    Wow, thank you so much for sharing the original with all of us. I absolutely love that song both ways. Thank you.

    M.... W....

    Max Wrye Beautiful man. Thanks so much for this

  15. t.... ....

    This band is TOO good

  16. C.... H....

    Could of made it without music

  17. b.... ....

    I like the clean vocals Their screamer sings now right? Anyways, it;s not the best, but there's something different about his voice and I like it.

    b.... ....

    no. its their newest member Ryan "Tuck" O'Leary

    b.... ....

    Ryan isn't new, he came back.

  18. C.... S....

    Sounds like soasin minus the scream

  19. A.... R....

    It awesome how much FFAK has grown as artist.
    a 9 out of 10 album.

  20. K.... M....

    Am I the only one who prefers the old clean vocalist?

    K.... M....

    no, actually this clean remind of rise against and this really suck !

    K.... M....

    +Intothe Depths I prefer this guy but you are entitled to your own opinion, I just don't see how you got rise against out of it. He sounds nothing like Tim, not even the same vocal style.

    K.... M....

    +Intothe Depths Wtf are you talking about?!

    K.... M....

    +Jeremy Richardson I like both. I think Tuck works better for the style that they're going for nowadays but Aaron was great for Creation|Destruction's sound.

    K.... M....

    +jacobjedi2 I agree.

  21. P.... ....

    absolutely love the new ffak clean vocalist.

  22. v.... ....

    Album should have been called self.

    v.... ....

    Save to nothing is a better way of expressing the same concept.

  23. C.... G....

    I love this

  24. M.... H....

    Lyrically this song stuck me right in the heart. Then add him singing like that and I've been listening to this all day.

    The salt and slug line is fucking crazy and I love it.

    M.... H....

    @SickNasty
    what's funny?

  25. T.... ....

    Fill my stomach with bags of salt
    Dissolve like a slug but you know it's your fault

    But once my remains are left on the floor
    I'll blossom like a flower and become a whole

  26. A.... C....

    Holy crap, Tuck nearly brought me to tears. This dude is sick.

  27. m.... ....

    The new singer sounds like Sam Carter from Architects at the beginning of the song. At least he reminds me of Sam.

  28. s.... ....

    "An empty pocket doesn't hurt as much as an empty chest."
    -Best line of the song. Extremely creative.

    s.... ....

    Agreed.

  29. D.... S....

    Love the vocals on this album! 

  30. S.... ....

    @Matthew Kerekish I've known the dude personally and I also had the pleasure to record his vocals before. This is how he sounds raw. A very talented individual.

    S.... ....

    @Matthew Kerekish Came off pretty sarcastic.

    S.... ....

    @Selke Films I apologize for giving you that impression of me.

    S.... ....

    @Matthew Kerekish Nah youre good dude. Just enjoy the music

    S.... ....

    Thanks man, and true to that.

    S.... ....

    This guy is amazing.

  31. M.... K....

    There is something unnatural about this clean vocalist.

  32. t.... ....

    This clean vocalist is like a mixture of heaven and angels.

    t.... ....

    tdwpvsabr wow refreshing to see a comment like this. I loved this when it came out and still do. Well done sir.

  33. s.... ....

    Not really a "slow" song, but a nice break from all the awesome heaviness. Tuck's vocals are incredible and a great fit for the band (see what I did there?).

  34. /.... ....

    Some of the best clean vocals I've heard in a very long time. Incredible album.

  35. A.... P....

    Ugh this song...

  36. C.... A....

    This album so so legit!

  37. Z.... H....
