Once upon a time, we promised not to lie
But you changed the rules when I closed my eyes
You stapled your problems to my chest
Told me to stand tall, gaslight the rest
Like a creature that's calm until dusk
Your love was a bayonet wrapped in trust
I was your obedient prince, your puppet saint
You wore red like roses but bled like paint
And I still taste the shade when I say your name
Every story ends the same
Did you love me or the power you held?
Was I a mirror or a mask on a shelf?
Fed me fairy tales with fangs
Yeah, Tied me down in golden chains
You can't cover up the scars you gave
Oh, Not every monster lives in caves
I was your obedient prince, your puppet saint
You wore red like roses but bled like paint
And I still taste the shade when I say your name
Every story ends the same
Full moon
Empty promises
