about

"Daniel Plainview" is mostly inspired by BAILEY ALLEN BAKER's behavior and character while coming out of his teens. Referenced by relationship dynamics, such as being a poor romantic partner or a bad friend, "Daniel Plainview" is BAILEY ALLEN BAKER's personal take on the "original tragic asshole", displaying his own vulnerability at taking a contemplative and brooding look at his own past self.

lyrics

I am a god, I am a king
I own from here to there. The window carry’s my sweat in condensation
I fear the breath I carry. I fear to come off offensive
Heavy is the head that wears the crown of wanting
Sit and talk about communion .But only in the future tense
And I always have the great escape, I always have excuses
And I hear the pop of pressure. So I head off to Oregon
Maybe I can outrun my guilt. And not have to make decisions

I know
I keep walls
There was once when I was broke
And vulnerable but no more

I am a god. I am a king
Everything I have I own, I neglect everything
I don’t need anyone. But I still drink your milkshake
If I take and hurt you, Them’s the breaks, You should of protected yourself
The looks of pride and admiration, Turn into slights of damnation
Break all the mirrors in land, I declare no one should learn who I am

I know
I build walls around me
There was once when I was broke
Where I was vulnerable
I know
That no one can help me
Cause that would mean that I would have to admit that I need it

Do you think that one day
I might grow
Or am I just waiting till I’m really all alone
Do you think my advisors mind
When I
String them along while I waste their time

Don’t they know, I’m a mad king
I know there's nothing from here to there, But I own everything
The people hate me. Well I made them, before they left
Heavy is the head the wears the crown of mistakes with no admission

I know
I build walls
There was once when I was broke
When I was vulnerable
