Lyrics
The Royal We
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We are ready for the siege
We are armed up to the teeth
Be careful how you live and breathe
Release what's broken underneath
How many times do you wanna die?
How many ways do you wanna die?
Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder
Very carefully look over your shoulder
We can laugh about it now
We hope everything works out
Be careful how you lick your wounds
Believe that change is coming soon
How many times do you wanna die?
How many ways do you wanna die?
Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder
Very carefully look over your shoulder
You used to do a little, but a little won't fly
Right before you hit your prime
That's when we fell in love, but not the first time
Can I please you still?
Remain in your father's will
Or does it make you ill?
Let us bruise their knees
We went in straight for a defeat
You will be relieved
So relieved, so relieved to the flow, and desire
Bitter sparks to the friendly fire
Misery inspires
Your throwin' me cuts several times before
Never noticed the size of the flow
Make it be ignored
Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder
Carefully look over your shoulder
You said you believe, but believing won't fly
Right before you hit your prime
That's when we fell in love, but not the first time
And when it's all over and you open your eyes
You see the room turned on it's side
And you'll be lying down and over on the floor; signed,
The Royal We
Love The Royal We
