Song lyrics
If you’re gonna rip my heart out, 
could you use a knife that’s dull and rust in color. 
(Once I die) there will be no way that you can cover, 
that scar. 
It’s hard. I know. 
And if I get a little blood on you, 
finally the world will know you’re guilty, 
(know you're wrong) 
of taking everything you’ve gotten from me 
no heart, its hard. I know. 
Mighty king of avondale 
I just can't let this go. 
Real life ain't no fairy tale 
I just thought you should know. 
When you’re finished with the surgery 
I really hope that you will turn to me 
and tell me all about the fun you had 
when you were cutting up, you were cutting up. 
Mighty king of avondale I just can't let this go. 
Real life ain't no fairy tale I just thought you should know. 
Living like a fairy tale the 
mighty king of avondale it all went to his head, this royalty. 
I stuck a knife into his back. Inventiveness is what I lack. 
He’s always hanging up on loyalty. 
Mighty king of avondale 
I just can't let this go 
real life ain't no fairy tale I just thought you should know.

i love this song! i heard that it was about this town that the band lived in...avondale was a little part of jacksonville, florida. It's about dan from inspection 12...if you look at their song doppelganger they have the lyrics "take your knife out of my back, inventiveness is what you lack"...yellowcard's song is like an answer or something...and i think mighty king of avondale is an analogie for dan, that he was getting too hung up on popularity or something..

i looove yellowcard!

I have never heard this song but I really like Yellowcard's music. LP is one hell of a drummer Anyways, I was wondering if anyone could recommend any of Yellowcard's earlier music as I have only ever heard Ocean Ave. and Lights and Sounds.
