Rapunzel Syndrome
Trapped inside this tower, many a lonely hour
The same way it's always been
Waiting for Charming to come do his thing
Sipping on a little gin
Damsel in distress, man fix the mess
That's how princesses are programmed
But his ass is taking a little too long
All of this stress be damned
The dragons came raging, in full glory blazing
And he was no where to be found
So I did the only thing that I knew how
One by one I took them down
I examine hair strands inside of my hands
And it doesn't matter if my prince ever comes
My ladder is falling to pieces
Shattering, rung by rung
I must tuck my heart away for some other day
Put these feelings back on the shelf
The moment of truth is here and now
I have to save myself
The same way it's always been
Waiting for Charming to come do his thing
Sipping on a little gin
Damsel in distress, man fix the mess
That's how princesses are programmed
But his ass is taking a little too long
All of this stress be damned
The dragons came raging, in full glory blazing
And he was no where to be found
So I did the only thing that I knew how
One by one I took them down
I examine hair strands inside of my hands
And it doesn't matter if my prince ever comes
My ladder is falling to pieces
Shattering, rung by rung
I must tuck my heart away for some other day
Put these feelings back on the shelf
The moment of truth is here and now
I have to save myself
