Princess and The Jester
Tale of Unrequited Love: Princess, Jester, and Broken Castles
Lyrics
In a far away land there's a fairest of them all
In a distant place, there exists the most beautiful person.
Dancing on golden eggshells inside a new castles walls
Dancing delicately on fragile foundations within new castle walls.
cnd I'm just the boy from the Valley who couldn't keep the girl
I am a boy from the Valley who lost the girl because she was meant for a higher position.
Cuz she was destined for a throne way up top of the world
She is destined for a throne high above in the world.
Maybe happy ever after was only just pretend
Perhaps the "happily ever after" was merely make-believe.
Nobody wants to tell you what happens when the fairytale ends
No one discusses what happens when the fairy tale concludes.
I just wanted the love I felt between us to be reciprocal
I desired mutual love, but all I received was heartbreak.
I dreamed of a life with you but all I got was a funeral
I dreamt of a life together, but it ended in a funeral.
Wise men told me only fools go rushing in
Wise men warned against hasty decisions.
But maybe it's the pretty girls and make fools out of wise men.
Yet, maybe it's the attractive girls who deceive wise men.
Mirror on the wall
Looking at oneself in the mirror.
Who's the saddest of them all
Questioning who is the most sorrowful of all.
I didn't ask to be thrown in the mazes or to
I didn't choose to be thrust into challenges or to build only to witness destruction.
Build it up to watch it fall
Mirror on the wall
Continuing to seek answers from the mirror.
Oh mirror on the wall
I guess sometimes the ones that smile the brightest cry alone the most
Perhaps those who smile the brightest endure the most loneliness.
Cuz as many tears as I've shed if only they were made of gold
If my tears were gold, maybe you'd have acknowledged me.
Maybe it would have been enough for you to be seen with me
-cnd I wouldn't be laughing, dancing, pretending to be happy
Instead, I'm feigning happiness, laughter, and dance.
Wise men told me only fools go rushing in
Repeated reminder from wise men about impulsive actions.
But maybe it's the pretty girls and make fools out of wise men.
Yet, perhaps it's the charming girls who deceive wise men.
Mirror on the wall
Reflection in the mirror, questioning the sadness within.
Who's the saddest of them all
I didn't ask to be thrown in the mazes or to
-Build it up to watch it fall
-Mirror on the wall
Continued introspection in front of the mirror.
Oh mirror on the wall
I guess the princess and the jester were just to worlds away.
The princess and the jester are worlds apart.
Cuz you can't build a house of cards in the middle of a hurricane
Constructing something fragile in the midst of chaos is impossible.
cll the memories how did you forget them
Recalling memories, wondering how they were forgotten.
Will we go down in history as the greatest story never written
Questioning whether our story will be remembered as the greatest never told.
Mirror on the wall
Continued reflection in the mirror, searching for the saddest.
Who's the saddest of them all
I didn't ask to be thrown in the mazes or to
-Build it up to watch it fall
-Mirror on the wall
Another round of introspection in front of the mirror.
Who's the saddest of them all
Questioning who is the saddest once more.
I didn't ask to be thrown in the mazes or to
Build it up to watch it fall
-Mirror on the wall
-Oh mirror on the wall
