Thorns

Your song was new when I sang
 The only reassurance I've had is pain
 Oh I remember the palms of your hands
 How they glowed from within
 Did my scars truly heal
 Or are they only hidden beneath my skin
 My love unrequited because
 My trust remains to be given
 I was a king of earth, but a king no more
 I was a king of earth, when your voice shook the floor
 "Accept that you suffer
 Let go of your throne
 Even when you are alone
 Beautiful vines
 On a crown that you mourn
 To find trust requires thorns"
 Lead me to the water but all is unclear
 In new verses, I only hear what I want to hear
 The only reassurance I've had is pain
