I Want a Sad One

The Prince is not the cause of all the woe/

It might not be the Villains fault either/

If you ask where I think the blame should go/

Prince? Villain?  My answer would be, "Neither."/

 

I want a tale where the Princess does wrong/

A good story where she's the one who fails/

Happy be damned she's not singing a song/

and there is no cure for all of her ails/

 

I want a story where everything falls/

The darkness wins and the light can't come back/

Just sobbing screams echoing through the halls/

No lesson, everything just fades to black/

 

Some shit goes down and you can't come back/

That's an element that fairy tales lack/
