"A paper crown and a heart made of glass
A tattered gown and a kingdom of ash
She walks alone, she could never look back
The story of a queen whose castle has fallen to the sea
She'll make it out, but she's never the same
She's looking down at the scars that remain
But you hold your ground
When your kingdom's in flames
'Cause it's the story of a queen
Whose castle has fallen to the sea
Knowing there's no one who will be
A king that will come and save his queen"

-Alec Benjamin, Paper Crown

If I were an archer with wild dreams in twilight's glow,
masquerading as a patriot, bestowing foes with dreams aglow,
the tender-hearted monarch transforming hands to stone,
exiling to an uncharted paradise, offering the crown to you, alone.
