We argue in the kitchen about whether to have children
About the world ending and the scale of my ambition
And how much is art really worth
The very thing you're best at
We argue in the kitchen about whether to have children
About the world ending and the scale of my ambition
And how much is art really worth
The very thing you're best at
Is the thing that hurts the most
But you need your rotten heart
Your dazzling pain like diamond rings
You need to go to war to find material to sing
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
[Chorus]
I need my golden crown of sorrow, my bloody sword to swing
My empty halls to echo with grand self-mythology
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
[Verse 2]
But a woman is a changeling, always shifting shape
Just when you think you have it figured out
Something new begins to take
What strange claws are these, scratching at my skin
I never knew my killer would be coming from within
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
[Chorus]
I need my golden crown of sorrow, my bloody sword to swing
I need my empty halls to echo with grand self-mythology
Cause I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
[Bridge]
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Outro]
And I was never as good as I always thought I was
But I knew how to dress it up
I was never satisfied, it never let me go
Just dragged me by my hair and back on with the show
Raspravljamo u kuhinji o tome hoće li imati djecu
O svijetu koji završava i ljestvicu moje ambicije
I koliko je umjetnost stvarno vrijedi
Upravo ono što ste najbolji
Je ono što najviše boli
Ali trebate vaše trulo srce
Tvoja sjajna bol kao dijamantni prstenovi
Morate otići u rat kako biste pronašli materijal za pjevanje
Ja nisam majka, nisam nevjesta, ja sam kralj
[Chorus]
Trebam svoju zlatnu krunu tuge, moj krvavi mač za ljuljanje
Moje prazne dvorane pokucaju s velikom samo-mitologijom
Ja nisam majka, nisam nevjesta, ja sam kralj
Ja nisam majka, nisam nevjesta, ja sam kralj
[Stih 2]
Ali žena je mjenjač, uvijek prebacujući oblik
Baš kad mislite da ste shvatili
Nešto novo počinje
Koje su to čudne kandže, grebanje na mojoj koži
Nikad nisam znao da bi moj ubojica dolazio iznutra
Ja nisam majka, nisam nevjesta, ja sam kralj
Ja nisam majka, nisam nevjesta, ja sam kralj
[Chorus]
Trebam svoju zlatnu krunu tuge, moj krvavi mač za ljuljanje
Trebam moje prazne dvorane za odjek s velikom samo-mitologijom
Jer nisam majka, nisam nevjesta, ja sam kralj
Ja nisam majka, nisam nevjesta, ja sam kralj
Ja nisam majka, nisam nevjesta, ja sam kralj
Ja nisam majka, nisam nevjesta, ja sam kralj
[Most]
Ooh
OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH
Ooh, ooh
OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH
[OUTRO]
I nikada nisam bio dobar kao i uvijek sam mislio da jesam
Ali znao sam kako ga oblačiti
Nikad nisam bio zadovoljan, nikad me ne puštam
Samo me povukao kosu i natrag s predstavom
