To the boy who thinks he is a man

To the man that thinks he is a king

To the king who thinks he is a god

A fake crown

You're nothing but a court jester fool

For your queen's own sick amusement.


To the girl who hides behind walls, a mask

Shooting bullets and words from around the corner of stones

Not knowing the damage until the blood seeps through the fortress walls

Not even you can break the walls you hide behind

A barrier made of tears.


To the duchess who tries and tries and tries, a broken music box

Trying to play notes she can't sing

You know you gave up long ago

Because the queen, you see, whispers behind her locked box

That you just weren't good enough.
