Princess

I choked on the silver spoon that they shoved down my throat I've lost track of the times I've tried to drown myself in the moat Born to secrecy, my lips are sewn shut With a thread made of lies, crime and pixie dust I dream of the day that I become sleeping beauty I've tried everything to get there - I curse the gods for their cruelty Being royal was supposed to mean privilege and fun But all you get are expensive stones glued onto your gun Maybe one day I'll let the fame get to my head The same day my mouth is filled with exotic lead I had a Prince Charming, but now he's just bones Buried under the ground as I sit in his throne I blow faux kisses over my shoulder to the cheering crowd As I wonder if I've gone deaf from all of the loud One day I'll make it to the land of unknown But for now I'll have to enjoy my life on the throne
