About

This song is a modern take on the story of Jonah. In an interview, the band said this:

…Jeremy [Fowler, lead vocalist] wanted to write a song about the story of Jonah and the whale. Not a fairytale, but the gritty, dark and cold reality of what it would actually be like to run away from everything...

Tale of Jonah Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take these promises and walk to the beaten shore
A stranger's handshake, as cold as the sea below
When I was given more than I could afford
I ran away, I ran away

[Chorus]
And I once was king of the world
But now live inside of a whale
And I once was king of the world

[Verse 2]
Raging waters, they will come when we least will know
A sleeping giant awakes as I look ashore
Can we erase the future, just let it swim overboard?
'Cause I ran away, I ran away

[Chorus]
And I once was king of the world
But now live inside of a whale
And I thought I ran the world
But I'm lost without you, hey

[Bridge]
So can we erase the future and let it swim overboard?
If I was to die tomorrow, to live with more than I need
You're coming with me

[Chorus]
And I once was king of the world
But now live inside of a whale
And I thought I ran the world
But I'm lost without you
