There is no once upon a time
Life is not a fairytale
The slipper doesn’t fit
The mermaid doesn’t become human.

Life is not a fairytale
because we were never poisoned by that apple,
and we never fell into wonderland,
or slept 100 years

Because we were never poisoned by that apple,
we never experienced our true love’s kiss
or slept those 100 years
for someone to open our eyes back up again.

We never experienced our true love’s kiss
so there was no one to our rescue and
for someone to open our eyes back up again
so we don’t find love

So there was no one to our rescue and
the slipper doesn't fit
so we don’t find love
There is no once upon a time
