Heir Apparent (feat. Akina McKenzie)
by cellardoor
lyrics
there’s somebody else
who’s trying to silence her words
but now she’s tired of fighting to be somebody else
there’s nowhere else
she’d go after learning the truth
never return to the place she should be somebody else
everybody calls her name
even though she’s not the same
now that they have taken off her rightful crown
all that really matters now
is the world will pay somehow
dreams of arrow rains and beheading those who broke their vows
there’s somebody else
who’s trying to live in her shoes
now that she’s tired of trying to be somebody else
but no one else
will ever see what she’s been through
cause she’ll never want or expect empathy from nobody else
everybody calls her name
even though she’s not the same
now that they have taken off her rightful crown
all that really matters now
is the world will pay somehow
dreams of arrow rains and beheading those who broke their vows
nothing really matters now
cause the cavalry is coming and they all now will give up and kneel down
She’s claiming her throne again
Only this time, she’s ruling the world again
Only this time, she’s ruling the world again
Only this time, she’s ruling the world again
who’s trying to silence her words
but now she’s tired of fighting to be somebody else
there’s nowhere else
she’d go after learning the truth
never return to the place she should be somebody else
everybody calls her name
even though she’s not the same
now that they have taken off her rightful crown
all that really matters now
is the world will pay somehow
dreams of arrow rains and beheading those who broke their vows
there’s somebody else
who’s trying to live in her shoes
now that she’s tired of trying to be somebody else
but no one else
will ever see what she’s been through
cause she’ll never want or expect empathy from nobody else
everybody calls her name
even though she’s not the same
now that they have taken off her rightful crown
all that really matters now
is the world will pay somehow
dreams of arrow rains and beheading those who broke their vows
nothing really matters now
cause the cavalry is coming and they all now will give up and kneel down
She’s claiming her throne again
Only this time, she’s ruling the world again
Only this time, she’s ruling the world again
Only this time, she’s ruling the world again
