The Lost Princess
I want to rest my head upon your shoulder
But instead I sit here lonely while you hold her
I miss the comfort of the feathers there beneath your wing
A little princess deemed unworthy of the shelter of a king
The day I started losing you shocked my very being
Now to live without you is as natural as breathing
It's only times like these when I'm missing you the most
That I swear on Princess Butterfly as just an empty boast
To know Big Brother's watching doesn't make it any safer
His goggles blind, he doesn't see I'm sandwiched like a wafer
Between possibility, a moral choice of wrong and right
For me to keep my sanity, I took a baited bite
Little Princess heading out to the world beyond the gates
Security deserted post; guess he didn't like the rates
Yearning for your shoulder as I cross to yonder side
A guardian wing restraining me from following the tide
To a king of false allegiance who would claim royalty
And the true King would sign a broken sister off as misplaced property
But truly I know I wasn't worth a fight of clanging swords
He'd rather replace than lose his rank as a high and noble lord
A lost princess barefoot in the sinking sand
You took my crown; he took her hand
A scepter was not raised to me
So, leaving the palace, I begin my journey
