All The King's Horses

Another fairy tale theme in this song as well, 'All The King's Horses' is a dark comparison to Humpty Dumpty. The music for the song is actually lite and kind of playful, while the words explore a more dismal story. To me it fits perfectly, because Humpty Dumpty could really be a horror tale, not a children's story: guy falls off of a building and his insides are scattered on the ground, people try to help him but its too late.

I wrote this song about 2 years ago, and in case anyone asks, its not written about anyone I know, or from any of my own personal endeavors; it is just storytelling.

All The King's Horses

Chorus
All the King's horses and all the kings men,
Couldn't put your life back together again.
It's been riddled before, you can't figure it out:
What's this crazy life all about?

Verse
You might have bitten off more than you can chew,
You might have taken a little more than just a few
Pills, you're nervous as you swallow them whole.
Now is not the time to fall asleep,
Keep your eyes open and you keep
Your heart, on a jagged line intact with your soul.

Chorus
All the King's horses and all the kings men,
Couldn't put your life back together again.
It's been riddled before, you can't figure it out:
What's this crazy life all about?

Verse
Leaves escape from the trees,
Like blooding leaving, you're knees
Go weak, you wait for it to enter your brain.
"Two time's enough," you start to say,
But then the message floats away
From you, and the words have gotten lost with restraint.

Chorus
All the King's horses and all the kings men,
Couldn't put your life back together again.
It's been riddled before, you can't figure it out:
What's this crazy life all about?

Outro
What is going to take,
To break you down, to build you up?
Like a phoenix from the flames,
You will fly from the remains.
You will fight despite of yourself,
And let it all fold in on itself.
