eeyore_grrl | LiveJournal Idol 9: Topic 3: In Another Castle

In Another Castle

there is a castle
where unicorns frolic and mate
there is always a rainbow overhead
and apparently SSRIs are flowing in the water
because the people are always ready with a genuine smile
and that just confuses me, but there it is, even the servants feel loved
the castle is etched in jewels
and the royalty is always kind, caring, and giving
if there were fair elections they would win by a landslide

meanwhile, in another castle, i’m the fucking queen
and i’m not entirely sure what that means

the unicorns won’t step foot near my lands
for fear of the constant crossfire
it’s us against we
and my castle shows the battle scars from this civil war

broadway musicals are belted from the crenellations
songs of misery and woe
it’s our battle cry

“At the end of the day you're another day colder
And the shirt on your back doesn't keep out the chill
And the righteous hurry past
They don't hear the little ones crying
And the plague is coming on fast, ready to kill
One day nearer to dying!”

the royalty and servants from the first castle look at us as a warning
a lesson to be learned about how not to be a fairy tale
how not to be happy
how not to be

*Song Lyrics from Les Miserables; At the End of the Day
