My Kingdom

I climbed the tallest mountain

And no one held my hand

Then I pitched my tent on the stars.

I constructed the highest castle

Guarded by a fleet of iron men

A river, and an impenetrable fortress.

You’re locked out.

You won’t get to me.

Will you explain to me

Why every time I let go

I soared like a kite in the wind

While you crashed and burned.

Will you explain to me

Why even the cold and dark can’t make me miss you

But you can’t forget me.

You said the throne was yours

And I listened

Because I’m a good girl

Until my ears rang

And I drove a sword into your heart.

There was no blood.

I’m ruling my own kingdom now.

You can find me in the stars

And in the wind and in the ocean

Where things are wild and free

But don’t you dare look

Or I’ll drive a sword in your eyes too.
