“For a while I thought I was the dragon.
I guess I can tell you that now. And, for a while, I thought I was
the princess,
cotton candy pink, sitting there in my room, in the tower of the castle,
young and beautiful and in love and waiting for you with
confidence

while I’m out here, slogging through the mud, breathing fire,
and getting stabbed to death.

You still get to be the hero.
You get magic gloves! A fish that talks! You get eyes like flashlights!”
