so father told you once
that you were his princess
but you don’t see the castle
and you cannot find your prince

well now you’ve grown a lot
and the dresses don’t fit right
daddy’s not a hero
he stole your chariot

so here you are in pieces
trying to prove to us it’s real
with the softness of your smile
and the lies you want to feel

the scales beneath your skin
are showing off today
there’s evil in your heart
and it wants out to play

i’ve made a home here for me
don’t burn it down with your fantasies.
