I wish I was queen
Just for today
Let me dream
Rip the pain away

Demand justice for all
Make people not blind
Make them watch us fall
See how they left us behind

Queen of the whole world over
Make the drunks understand
See the truth when they’re sober
See what they do with those hands

It’s a great big wide place
This world is crazy
Under it’s pretty face
Everything is hazy

How many of you …
Watched someone break?
What did you do?
To cure their ache?

I can safely say
Many people saw
Me falling away
They don’t watch anymore

They happily cover their sin
While we quietly slice
And keep our pain in
Don’t look pretty, but it feels nice

They don’t see
Don’t comprehend
What they do, what it does to me
I wish I could make that façade end

So if I was queen
Just for one day
I’d give me my dream
And make them watch us fade away

Make them stand
See the results of their ‘fun’
Cut off their hands
And make sure they can’t run

Make them feel
An inch of what we do
The insanity so surreal
But it’s nothing new

But to them what a shock it would be
Yes, if I was Queen
I’d make them see
Yes, that’s my only dream.
