lyrics

I’m growing older—always—all the time,
An adult in my shape but not my mind.
I've never been so much so disinclined to be…

My feet are weary every step I take.
My eyes can barely seem to stay awake.
I wonder if they think that I’m a mistake now.

Why are Bastards the only loyal sons?
Why are Bastards the only loyal ones?

I’m not shadowed by an ever present cloud,
But can’t help feeling that I’m always cowed
To silly whims I’m rather sure are not my own.

A good ambition never seemed to set,
And competition only makes me sweat.
A failure as a man and surely as a son.

With bright hopes and aspirations
Come failures, exasperations.
As King Henry [II] said on his deathbed,
“Why are Bastards the only loyal sons?”
