Goodnight, lonely prince
It’s too bad about your father
And those awful things he said
Please don’t listen, no don’t bother
Maybe I can coax some kindness out
A little for the two of us, to share
Keep between us,
For the lonely nights to bear
I will tie you the bible
And watch you sink down to the bottom
All apologies unspoken
But your pride still left unbroken
I will tie you to the bible
And watch you sink down to the bottom
Waiting for an answer
To the question you never asked
Wake up, you’re the new king
Tried to warn you when I could
We could’ve ran back then but now
You’ve inherited his troubles
I will tie you the bible
And watch you sink down to the bottom
All apologies unspoken
But your pride still left unbroken
I will tie you to the bible
And watch you sink down to the bottom
Waiting for an answer
To the question you never asked
Could’ve saved you, could’ve dug you from his hole
Now you watch me, with dry eyes now icy cold
If you hate me, maybe I can only blame myself
For seeing truths where, I hadn’t learned to doubt
I should’ve tied you to the bible
And watch you sink down to the bottom
My apologies, unspoken
But your pride still left unbroken
Should’ve tied me to the bible
Watched me sink down to the bottom
Waiting for an answer
To the questions I never should’ve asked
I never should’ve asked
