lyrics

Imagination set in motion by your warped reality,
You’re the damsel in the castle I’m the prince that sets you free, or so they say…

But that’s not the way I see it, not the way it’s meant to be,
You’re not a princess in a tower you’re a girl lost in a dream, why can’t you see?

So you can lay down all your golden hair but I’ll push it away,
‘Cause my surname isn’t Charming and you’re just not the one for me, do you capiche?

With the stories you create and all the lies you fabricate,
Not every wish upon a star you make will turn out to be fate,
So narrate a little faster story time is running late,
It was compelling while it lasted but it’s over!

Come down!
Come down from your tower now!
Come down!
I can see the stairs you’re not trapped up there…
So come down!
This ain’t no fairytale!
Come down!
Having your head in the clouds doesn’t give you the moral high ground…

You might be beauty on the outside but inside you are the beast,
And when the final petal falls you won’t be different in the least, I know you too well…

Like the Snow Queen on her icy throne you have to have control,
You froze my creativity, tried turning me to stone, hey what the hell?!

So I’m plotting my escape but I’m at loss at what to do,
‘Cause the kingdom of Far Far Away ain’t far enough from you, or so it seems…
(But I'll try further afield)

With the secrets that you keep, all the lies and the deceit,
It’ll all come back to haunt you in a nightmare on repeat,
So narrate a little faster, I don’t listen to a cheat,
I believed you once upon a time but no more!
(Girl this love just ain't the answer)

Come down!
Come down from your tower now!
Come down!
I can see the stairs you’re not trapped up there…
So come down!
This ain’t no fairytale!
Come down!
Having your head in the clouds doesn’t give you the moral high ground…

With the stories you create and all the lies you fabricate,
Not every wish upon a star you make will turn out to be fate,
So narrate a little faster story time is running late,
It was compelling while it lasted but it’s over!
(Girl this love just ain't the answer)

Come down!
Come down from your tower now!
Come down!
I can see the stairs you’re not trapped up there…
So come down!
This ain’t no fairytale!
Come down!
Having your head in the clouds doesn’t give you the moral high ground…
(Back down to Earth bitch!)
