Woke up next to the king is in reference to Jesus Christ. The author had good intentions and a connection with Christ but he has come to a realization that the beliefs that he once held are no longer valid. His experiences have changed what he believes about Christ.
[Verse 1]
I woke up next to the king
He got up, gonna fix me something
And it made me sick
How I can't trust him, no I can't trust him
[Pre-Chorus]
Said the bottom of his belly
That's where he would keep me
[Chorus 1]
Christ Jesus
As I'm floating
And you get a brick
And you drop it down on me
Christ Jesus
Have you seen us
We're down on our hands and our knees
And tell us what's the reason
[Verse 2]
Like a heart that's hung in the sky
A hard-on when I die
And you passed away
And that horizon never came, no it never came
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the time of the week
No one sees but me
[Chorus 2]
Christ Jesus
As I'm drowning
And I struggle to breathe
It's your face I don't see
Christ Jesus
Please don't leave us
If in peace you'll keep us
Well then, you should have believed us
[Bridge]
Please let me inside
And hear out my desire
'Cause soon I may die
Yes, one day I will die
I'll get eaten by the rust
You cremate and breathe the dust
And I'll weaken your lungs
And I'll bite off your tongue
[Chorus 3]
Christ Jesus
Please don't leave us
Down on our hands and our knees
Or I'll never believe, no
Christ Jesus
As I'm drowning
And I struggle to breathe
It's your face I don't see
[Outro]
