Esme Rose

Song: Esme Rose - Fuck being a princess They said: Smile, they said: Sit still Wear your lace, follow your will Cross your legs, close your mouth Be the pretty thing they talk about (ooh) Well, bless your crown, baby, bless your pearls I ain't built for those kind of world Keep your castle, keep your king I got fire and a goddamn swing (ahh) Fuck being a princess, I'd rather be a witch Trade that crown for a flame and it's what you got roots I got roots You wear flags, I wear boots Fuck being a princess, I'd rather be a witch Fit that curse, make the heavens glitch You want calm, I want storms I crack bones just to be reborn (ooh) Your fairy tales don't fit my scars I don't need a crown to touch the stars I'll kiss the dark, I'll bless the pain My kind don't die, we just change our name Fuck being a princess, I'd rather be a witch And light my heart like a servant Did you get pearls? I got smoke You say pray, I say provoke Fuck being a princess, I'd rather be a witch Dance in the ashes, stitch by stitch You preach, if you're a priestess I'll rise while from my own sin Who told yourself was holy? (You did) Who said quiet wins? (You did) Who built thrones for men alone? (You did) Who burns us when we grin? (You did) Fuck being a princess, I'd rather be a witch Trade that crown for a curse and a stitch You want pure, I want power You pray safe, I bloom sour Fuck being a princess, I'd rather be a witch I'll bleed my truth every scratch, every itch You want grace, I want grit You wear glass, I'll throw it Fuck being a princess, I'd rather be a witch Raise your hand, make them twitch The saints all hide, the sinner's dance We found God in the devil's grin We don't bow, we multiply We don't bow, we multiply We don't bow, we multiply We don't bow, we multiply Esme lives in a broken castle, far behind the mountains where most people never wish to visit. Esme was born a princess but never meant to be, left her kingdom. You can be anything you want to be!
