Your Queen (Of Fools)

Dear king, are you listening,

Theres a story to be told this evening,

Of a princess with the heart of a dead man,

Because of all you’ve taught her with your hands,

That second chances will never change the facts,

Like moths to flame,

I ignite at the sight of anything more than I am.

 

If you’re the jack of hearts, then I’m your queen of fools.

If you’re the rebel child, then I’m the broken rules.

If stars won’t ever touch the ground, and the sky will never fall,

Did you know queens can crawl?

Love, always, your queen of fools.

 

I’ve rewritten so many times, that you are now all I see

I promised myself I’d never be here again but it’s only line two and I’m broken

Fingers shaking at the sound of earthquake

Cause the ground is breaking with each backwards step I take

Burning with the pins and needles, walking on broken glass,

Kind of bleed, that can only bring a heart of ash,

We’re just playing a game,

Sitting in a circle cause I never leave your kingdom.

I never leave this kingdom.

My throne's begun to stab me but I can’t feel anything anymore,

Cause you left me before I even got the chance to explain that I don’t want to live this way,

Even if I did.
