GODARD LYRICS

"Royalty"

I’ve seen you on her shoulders
Like you’re sewn tight together
& I bet you know each other
& just how to unfold her
exactly how I remember to

You know what I do
to never tell
My pride hides inside,
you’re putting me through hell
I’ve got a disguise
To come in the night, I know where you lie

So what makes a king, my friend?
Is it the crown he wears or the courage he bears within
Golden sins are holding him together but are tearing at the seams,
He needs his queen

A shadow to my door, you’re here asking me for more
& I know why you never sing, s’cos the voice you bring
makes the angels retreat, flocks of birds to fleet
& it’s not that I can’t sleep, it’s that I just don’t want to
& it’s not that I can’t reap, your conscience from within you
You hide behind my sins, I’ll take you in, limb for limb

So what makes a king, my friend?
Is it the crown he wears or the courage he bears, within
Golden sins, are holding him together but are tearing at the seams,
He needs, his queen, that he wears on his sleeve but like a bridge she sees,
Him burn, let him burn, his throne becomes an urn and in turn I learn that
Royalty doesn’t fucking mean
A single thing, these days to me
Cos loyalty, is everything
Surrounded by the water
That protects us here together
As they burn
