Goodnight
and one night
it will be the last night
Goodnight

The moon will see
Just how painful it's been
to be so much of myself
to be me

The stars will shine
and stand for all the things
I've always wanted to be
but will never have been

Goodnight
the clouds will cry
or the air will dry
And I will sleep eternally
forever

Have a goodnight
for tonight is the last night
It's the night I die

You
You're just like the waves
pulling me in
You're like the ocean
I'm sinking in

Completely drowned by
the thoughts of you
I've been drugged
and my poison is you

I was drawn
like a moth to a flame
I can only hope
it isn't all a game

Even though
I try to swim away
Your arms wrap around me
and pull me back again

You're just like home
down to the trinkets
You're all I know
and I'm drowning again

"Embrace it," you said.
"While you love someone else?"
I'm aware of the risks
but my heart has been smothered
by all of this

I let my heart out
I'm drowning again
But this is the type of death
I'd love to have had

Just know if I lose you,
that's the end of me
I won't stay if I lose you
I'll disappear
I'll go away
This is about a boy I met. He makes me so happy yet so sad and confused.

A part of my soul
died tonight
I could feel it in my chest
everything was tight

I woke up from sleep
and it felt like I had lost
something so precious
that fought to stay alive at all costs

It's like I've felt you in me
in the depths of my heart
Like you've left me breathing
while you've escaped this cot

I woke up this morning
Feeling like my soulmate just died
It's a terrible feeling
I hope it was a lie

"Be the change you want to see in the world"
Unfortunately, the only change I can offer
is to stop existing

"You accept the love you think you deserve"
I don't think I deserve any love
not like I receive any anyway

"There's so much more to live for though"
So much more things I don't deserve to see
I'm sorry

But I'm done
This is enough for me

The Queen was a humble woman
She was also a stubborn woman
Wanting to work in the fields
and her King could care less

The Queen sat at her simple table
her King refused to bear
the cost of her living
and the livelihood of her children

The Queen slept alone
in a stone cold bed
She cried when things got hard
and she prayed diligently for the best

The Queen was loved
Her children stayed by her side
and helped where they could

But sometimes children are selfish
sometimes children are stubborn too
Sometimes they loved her too little
and that made her blue

The Queen was a poor woman
who loved the wrong man
Cast aside and forgotten
She lived in poverty and strife

Everyday he sits on his throne
unaware and absorbed in himself
overlooking all that was unknown

The riches and remarks
were all he cared for
The spoken words and whispered scandals

He never saw what his subjects could see
his broken children he left to be

His youngest child
cried herself to sleep
wanting and aching
for Daddy's company

His two sons
tried to stay strong
but inside the hurt
for oh so long

His eldest daughter
turned to sharp blades
and flowing rivers
that streamed red

His highness sat
on his velvet throne
overlooking the richest kingdom
but forgetting his own

I've just been told
I'm a huge disappointment
Forgive me for doing this
but it just hurts

A girl once laughed at me
for crying when a teacher
gave up on teaching me
she said it was a stupid little thing

A boy once forgot me
after talking to me only a day before
He had said I was beautiful
but it seems that was a lie too

I've been told today
I was a disappointment
I don't know how to feel
I don't know what to do

So forgive me if what I do
is drastic and irresponsible
But I'm a disappointment, it's true
and I am replaceable
