Kingship

Welcome to the coronation of the kingdom inside my head It's a lonesome land I live in, population half aware Of the things that keep me living Of the reasons to be fair to myself, and others, to pretend I really care Welcome to the coronation of the kingdom inside my head It's a pointless ceremony, please forgive the fanfare I don't really want to be here I'd rather be left alone, To my own devices In the shadow of my throne My kingdom for a place to be myself My kingdom for the hope of a better day Throw out the monarchy Install a better way A democracy of me Not a crown dependency Cancel the celebration The kingdom is sinking Red and gold and a feeling That I'll always be like this Throw out the monarchy Install a better way A democracy of me Not a crown dependency Throw out the monarchy Install a better way Raise a glass to freedom A toast to better days
