An Epic Tale Of A Pessimistic Hero And A Villain In Disguise

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
