The Man in the Flames - Keep it Steady

There's something wrong with Johnny Cakes
Did you catch him running away
His will was strong, but not enough
To keep from the beasts of prey

Remember when he was king
He ruled them all from just eighteen
He stayed his pride, they left his side
And the rest was taken by me

When I looked behind the crown, I had found

There's a monster
In the mirror
It's been there once before
He don't ever want to believe
That it can see him
Feel him breathing
Hear his beating heart
He's shaken to his bones
He keeps it steady

There's nothing bad about what he did
He was always his mama's kid
But she caught sight of her baby's eyes
When he bit from the stolen bread

Though now he has regrets, he might forget

There's a monster
In the mirror
It's been there once before
He don't ever want to believe
That it can see him
Feel him breathing
Hear his beating heart
He's shaken to his bones
He keeps it steady

There's something wrong with Johnny Cakes
Did you see him slipping away
I watched him fall, his eyes had rolled
And down on the floor he stayed

And now he has regrets he won't forget

There's a monster
In the Mirror
It's been there once before
He don't ever want to believe
That it can see him
Feel him breathing
Hear his beating heart
He's shaken to his bones
Keep it steady
