Lyrics
Princess Bride and True Romance were not just movies to me They gave me a feeling that true love is not just allegory Then I found out the hard way that happiness comes at such an incredible cost It took us so long to realize it was stolen from us, we had previously thought it was lost We took pride in being lepers and pariah royalty Until we were turned into the people we weren't, from being shamed so unanimously No one could admire when we walked the highest wire from the ground it just looks cavalier Instead of cheering us on they pulled the net out to infect us with their envy and fear A beautiful woman with a heart of gold Was outcast because of what she sold When you're able sell the fulfillment of dreams People call it snakeoil money making schemes So f**k all of you that chose to stand above us And thanks to our friends that were there to love us And I'll call you all out cuz your indecency Comes from sexism, shame and clear jealousy And you're not getting off so easily We treated everyone good so we never understood why we became so hated Was it because we saw the world differently and the absurd life we created The friends we could count on one hand turned into sand when we reached out Were all the laughs that we shared just canned We never dreamed we'd ever have to live our lives without all of you And I guess I'm just naive, because I never expected That the woman I loved could be so disrespected By her fair leather friends dishonorable sh*t talkers And mine who are just conservatives that think they're punk rockers The truth is that they couldn't stand our sexual feats We soared on trapezes while they sat in cheap seats And the hardest part is when we lost the love we had Our so-called families said they're so sorry, but they're really just glad And how we both got had is so spectacularly sad That something that was once so perfectly euphoric Is now just a song that's painfully, historic But that's how life goes The most incredible ballerinas at some point have to take a bow Step down and realize that they'll never get on their toes again But how many people can say, they didn't just dance in, They lived a ballet
