One Mistake
Their life was fake and they were called a snake
After being cast out they somehow vanished deep within the crowd
Started wearing an indifferent face that would never break
-
It was all the terrible result of one mistake
Shattering everything at once just for being so very proud
Their life was fake and they were called a snake
-
Harrowed by what they were ever to forsake
They decided to just forget after finally crying so very loud
Started wearing an indifferent face that would never break
-
They tried and tried but could not escape
Instead ended up falling down deep into the underground
Their life was fake and they were called a snake
-
In their heart they would feel such a terrible ache
Remembering the regret that came after just wanting to be crowned
Started wearing an indifferent face that would never break
-
It was all a nightmare from which they hoped to wake
A heavy one in which they had long since drowned
Their life was fake and they were called a snake
Started wearing an indifferent face that would never break
