But for now I want to post what I think the lyrics are (since I'm right and they're not) before the official ones get released, as they are posting official lyrics one song at a time. This is my favorite song off the album.
Despite an interview where Maynard says lyrics aren't that important, it is his band that has made me come to disagree with this statement. I want to be able to relate to the lyrics of songs, even if I take a different meaning from them compared to what was intended. That's why Rosetta Stoned pisses me off (nothing to relate to) and why The Pot could of been better (nothing to relate to). This song is probably about his son, but I relate it to my brother.

Heavenly king's mountain view
Having the wild dream come true
Feast like a sultan, I do
On treasures and flesh never few
But I...
I would...
wish it...
all away
If I...
thought I'd...
lose you...
just one day
The devil and his had me down
In love with the dark side I've found
Dabblin' all the way down
Up to my neck soon to drown.
But you changed that all for me
Lifted me up, turned me round
So I...
I...x3
I would...x3
wish this all away
Pray like a martyr dusk to dawn
Beg like a hooker all night long
Tempted the devil with my song
And got what I wanted all along
But I
I would
If I could
I would
Wish it away
Wish it away
(Wanna) Wish it all away
Wanna wish it all away
No price that could hold sway
Or justify my
Give it away, my center
So if I could I'd wish it all away
If I thought tomorrow, would take you away
You - my piece of mind; my home
I said I'm just trying to hold on
One more day
Dim my eyes
Dim my eyes
Dim my eyes if they should compromise a fulcrum
Want and need divide me then
I might as well be gone...
Shine on forever
Shine on benevolent sun/son (I'm sure he wrote this to be either word...)
Shine down upon the broken
Shine until the two become one
Shine on forever
Shine on benevolent sun/son (...although when he posts official lyrics I bet...)
Shine down upon the severed
Shine until the two become one
Divide, and wither it away
Divide, and wither it away
Shine down upon the many, light our way,
Benevolent sun/son. (...he only uses the word 'sun')
Breathe in union x5
So as one, survive
Another day and season
Silently, just save your poison
Silently, just stay out of my way
