A queen in a kingdom
Where I hold no reign
A queen in a kingdom
Where I hold no reign
Where I hold no reign

She could have been an empty canvas
Waiting for colors to make her whole
But the only pigment left behind
Are ashes colored with tears untold
The once firm lines now shake with doubt
And black inked desires I can't reroute

Is it true they only linger in me
While the rest of the world moves on?
I’d erase these marks if I could be free
But they’ve become the ghost I lean upon
I reached for poison, but vodka remained
So I let it be, the taste unchanged

Decided to press forward, to rewrite the past
But the future I wanted, slipped from my grasp
The pages I penned won’t change anymore
The words sealed shut, the ink a closing door
One day she'll smile far from this pain
A queen in a kingdom where I hold no reign

In the darkness, I find my only friend
A silent companion that won’t pretend
It echoes the thoughts I dare not speak
In shadows deep, where I'm too weak
No light can break this binding chain
As I drown in the comfort of my own pain

A queen in a kingdom
Where I hold no reign
A queen in a kingdom
Where I hold no reign
Where I hold no reign
