My Pale King

(album: Wide Eyed Elk Ensemble - 2021)

The awful things angels sing
When they know that you're not
One of those a perfect rose
That dies when it's bought

We should've tried harder for our new daughter but you just ran away
We should've tried harder for our new daughter but you just ran away

But if we go outside, let's hide behind
The never ending brigade
But if we go outside, let's hide behind
The never ending brigade

We should've tried harder...

My pale king, my wedding ring
That I never bought
And all my clothes and books in rows
I'm okay, no, I'm not

We should have tried harder, I feel like my father
Yeah, the same fucking way
We should have tried harder, I feel like my father
Yeah, the same fucking way

But if we go outside, let's hide behind
The never ending brigade
But if we go outside, let's hide behind
The never ending brigade
(We should've tried harder...)
But if we go outside, let's hide behind
The never ending brigade
(We should've tried harder...)
But if we go outside, let's hide behind
The never ending brigade
(We should've tried harder...)
We'll be okay
