I wanna write an epic tale
About how I saved a princess
Like a fairytale
That doesn't exist
About as real as our dreams
Of distant lands
Saving us from our own
Lack of self-esteem
I was never much of a hero
But when did I become
Such a fucking pessimist
Living life like the villain
Never one for the spot light
No fame or glory
A lack of sympathy
At a breaking point
This was never my story
Rewriting everything
Hoping for something better
Hold it to the fire
Waiting to see
If it melts away
This script has me on the edge
Searching for an escape
Nothing in plain sight
So we'll build it in to the scribble
This villain will never see the light of day
Broken faith
Blind hypocrisy
Killing the snake
Cutting off the airways
To make a cleaner way
To getaway
From the lies we're told
The fairytales
We wrote so bold
I'll write an epic tale
Of a hero so small
A villain in disguise
That kidnaps the princess
Runs away to distant lands
Hidden away
Behind our dreams
Of a busted reality
A story never told
Written so bold
