Rapunzel

Verse 1
Rapunzel, lay your hair down,
Let yourself be free,
We’ve all read it in the fairytale,
Seen it in the movies,
Stop dreaming: make reality,
Take a breath and step outside,
Dreaming a dream is useless,
Unless you give it a try,

 
Chorus
There may be dragons and potions and talking frogs,

But promise me one thing,

Despite the dragons and potions and talking frogs,

You’ll never ever forget him,

Verse 2

Don’t cry, don’t fade away,

The distance is more than close,

Dry your eyes, forget your secrets,

Your fairytale beats most,

Rapunzel, look outside,

They’re singing their song for you,

It’s time to escape your tower,

It’s time to enjoy the view,

Chorus

There may be dragons and potions and talking frogs,

But promise me one thing,

Despite the dragons and potions and talking frogs,

You’ll never ever forget him,

 

Middle 8

The clock strikes twelve, all light has gone,

And so has the Princess,

Despite the rain, a light shone,

She finally escapes the mess,

Adjusted Chorus

She battled dragons and potions and talking frogs,

But there is one thing she’ll never forget,

And that’s the dragons and potions and talking frogs,

And her sad secrets,

End

Once upon a time lived a Princess,

When she escaped her Prince was waiting for her,

Rapunzel married the Prince,

Queue “Happy Ever After”.

Raised By Wolves

Verse 1                            

Pitter patter dripping on my window,

Feel the static, hear the dark glow,

Hide and seek with your heart and your tango,

Running quick from the drop of crescendo,

 

Verse 2

Heard the news from my pigeon hole,

The day you never came home,

People asking didn’t I know,

Why didn’t I know? Why didn’t I know?

 

Verse 3

“This is what he does with girl’s heads,

And they always fall,” that’s what they said,

A fleeting sunset, a fly-by bet,

Choosing to make my heart fall for you instead,

 

Chorus

You told me the words I wanted to hear,

I said them back but you disappeared,

Cursed with pain but beautiful,

Raised by wolves, raised by wolves,

 

Verse 4

Hum it quick, I’ll catch the melody,

Sing it twice, I’ll hear the harmony,

That’s what I believed,

Then my heart stopped and now I see,

 

Verse 5

A fairy-tale gone with the wind,

Looking back twice to see how deep you’re in,

Banging on a soul of tin,

Making sure that you did win,

 

(Chorus)

 

Middle 8

Call me naïve,

Call me predictable,

If that’s what I need,

There’s no cure for this fall,

 

Is this how it goes?

In this pack you’ve brought me into,

No friends only foes,

Raised by wolves when I fell for you,

 

Adjusted Chorus

You told me the words I wanted to hear,

I said them back but you disappeared,

Cursed with pain but beautiful,

Raised by wolves, raised by wolves (x3).
