Sun Is King - Laura Veirs

even the most shimmering rain

empties out the sky and comes to an end

we all know that the sun is king

there’s no messing with our orbiting

so why is he standing in his own backyard

crying at his fallen down house of card?

did you see the ice in his eye?

did you see the dagger caught in his smile?

innocent as a summer flower

with a serpent coiled under his collar

so why is he standing in his own backyard

crying at his fallen down house of card?
