[Verse]
Many choose to find their hope
In the thoughts of afterlife
When there is none to be found
Right here before we die
So, I understand
The feeling of helplessness
When we are just taught to wait here
Wait here for death

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Wait here for death
Wait for this suffering to end
Wait here for death, wait here for death
Wait for this suffering to end

[Pre-Chorus 2]
We are not forgotten
For a kingdom is offered
Beyond that of golden streets
We can represent now
What will one day
Be complete

[Chorus]
Simplicity is not a curse
Where strength is humbled
And the powerless rise
(And the powerless rise)
This is a kingdom
Born upside down
This is a kingdom
Where the broken are crowned
[Post-Chorus]
Wait here for death
Wait here for death
The "blessings" of excess
Are only a burden on us

[Bridge]
It is a broken system
Where we just wait for death
It is a broken system
Where suffering can never end

[Chorus]
Simplicity is not a curse
Where strength is humbled
And the powerless rise
(And the powerless rise)
This is a kingdom
Born upside down
This is a kingdom
Where the broken are crowned

[Post-Chorus]
The broken are crowned

[Outro]
If helplessness is our system
Then we're better off upside down
