The Prince

The Prince (Italian: Il Principe [il ˈprintʃipe]; Latin: De Principatibus) is a 16th-century political treatise written by Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli as an instruction guide for new princes and royals. The general theme of The Prince is of accepting that the aims of princes – such as glory and survival – can justify the use of immoral means to achieve those ends.From Machiavelli's correspondence, a version appears to have been distributed in 1513, using a Latin title, De Principatibus (Of Principalities). However, the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death.

Oooh oooh
Come in and Join me
In this cardboard fantasy
You and I can pretend to be happy

I was seven years old
The winds told me it was about to get cold
When I was seven years old life told me
Sunny you need to get bold

I couldn't see it then
I still can't believe in that shit now
So I pretend to live in this
Cardboard fantasy
Where we can pretend to be happy
Wanting it so badly
When I was seven years old
A demon crawled into my bed
He said
Sunny let me hold I'm feeling kind of cold
And every night he see me
But only after late evening
When the world is finally sleeping
And this demon can torment me
Peacefully
Dreaming of being happy
In a cardboard fantasy
My own demon to torment me
Some nights I'd be screaming
Cannot escape my sleeping
Devil's hands creeping
I don't know how to think now
I'd be okay to be forever laid down

The moon to never awaken
Lakes drowned in the ocean
Soul locked in a cold dungeon
When I go around people I feel like a martian
What happened
Am I even still a person
Heart's imprisoned
The nighttime huntsman
Leaving my childhood beaten
Memories lit in arson
Never felt like a son
To any man
Living in this cardboard fantasy
Hoping you'll join me
Keeping me from lonely
Together we can pretend
To be happy
In my cardboard fantasy
My cardboard fantasy
Cardboard fantasy
To escape this reality
I can not feel free
If I'm not hiding away
Too broken to pray
Hiding in this cardboard fantasy
Just you me

We can pretend to be happy
Forget all our horrible memories
In our cardboard fantasy
Cardboard fantasy
