Feeding the Myth

Feeding The Myth

Holding onto hopes

And clinging to distorted dreams

Keep moving along

Can't find the real thing 'cause

They're feeding the myth they were raised on

Their sighs are filled with whispered longings

The escape their lips as softly as feathers drop

Both dreaming of romantic happy ever afters while their friends talk

Through high school halls, with others they absently walk

She turns her eyes heaven-ward wishing upon hidden stars

That she'll be granted love from a nonexistant picture-perfect man

She blindly keeps believing that someday her prince will come

She's repeatedly disappointed when things don't go according to plan

He doesn't know what he's missing 'cause he's been taught to believe

A cruelty that society continues to perpetrate with fairy tale storylines

Wholesaled in cartoons, and mainstreamed on TV and the silver screen

So he's valiantly searching for a princess that he just can't seem to find.
