Blackened Blue - In The Air

Royalty is the highest honor anypony can be awarded with, but this little pony thinks otherwise. It's a big world out there, so why not live?

An art piece by thelunarmoon got the ball rolling for an AU where Celestia hates the idea of ascending to the throne and wants to live a regular life as a young, care-free pony. Shoutouts to them for letting me use their amazing work!

LYRICS:
Staring out the olden window
I can see the forest for the trees
Not what it seems, but what do I know
Misplaced subservience for everyone to see

Is this what I'm destined for?
Impulse decisions etched into stone
All I need is so much more
I'll never limit myself to the throne

The desire to be free
Let it take me anywhere
The world is waiting there for me
I can feel it in the air

Doing what's expected of me
Standing up again another day
Won't let them instill it in me
Here I'm searching for some other way

I'll never
Be one of you
Got something
More I can do

The sky is calling me
I've got to spread my wings
And there, I can do everything

Conversations that drag on so long
Everything you think about me, you're wrong
What a shame that you'll never see me ascend
Running away, reaching the bitter end

You won't take my life away
Won't take my life away
