[Intro – dramatic strings + low insecure growl + heartbeat] Yeah… Sleeping Beauty woke up last song and fell for Hansel. Now the crew’s out here rescuing actual beasts. Fairy tales are a mess. [Verse 1 – The Rescue] Beauty and Hansel were walking slow through the deep woods glow She still had thorns in her hair from the curse she outgrew Heard iron gates creaking, a roar that sounded more sad than mean Found a castle swallowed by vines and a Beast who’d clearly seen better days Chains on the doors like someone wanted him to stay lost Beast pacing behind bars, massive, scarred, and pissed at the cost “Another pretty face come to gawk at the freak in the cage?” Beauty laughed — “Bro, I just woke up from a hundred-year stage.” [Pre-Chorus] Hansel stepped up calm — “We don’t do cages no more.” [Chorus – dark humor, semi-modern roast] Beast had it bad for Gretel the second she walked in the room But dude was insecure as hell — “Look at me, I’m basically doom” Hair like a horror movie, teeth that could end a debate Gretel just smirked — “Big guy, I’ve dated worse on Tinder, relax mate” Beauty and Hansel playing couple’s therapy in the corner like pros She said “It’s not about how you look to everyone else, bro” Hansel added “I used to drop stones so I wouldn’t get lost Now I drop truth — beauty’s in the fight, not the gloss” [Verse 2 – The Insecurity & Lesson] Beast sat heavy, voice cracking like old castle stone “They locked me away ‘cause I wouldn’t smile for the throne Called me monster, cursed my face, threw away the key Now I scare the mirror more than it scares me” Gretel leaned on the bars, knife still on her hip “You think I came out the woods looking like a Instagram trip? We all got scars, big guy — mine just don’t show on the skin The real ugly ones are the ones still hiding within” Beauty nodded, holding Hansel’s hand a little tighter “We woke up, we got strong, we stopped being polite, sir You don’t need a curse broken — you need the door opened wide Let the right ones in… and tell the wrong ones goodbye” [Bridge – spoken, raw & real] Beast looked at Gretel like she was the first honest thing he’d seen Said “You really don’t mind the teeth and the mess in between?” She laughed — “I fought a wolf and a witch before breakfast Your fur’s cute. Now open the damn gates, this castle’s depressing.” [Final Chorus – full, warm but savage dark humor] They opened the castle doors, let the whole crew move in No more lonely Beast, no more sleeping-in sins Beauty and Hansel cooking in the kitchen like it’s normal Gretel teaching the Beast how to smile without looking formal Wolf showed up later just to roast him proper Red brought books — “Read these, big guy, get your head in order” Woodcutter fixed the gates with a knowing little grin Said “Welcome to the revolution… where the monsters finally win” [Outro – big, hopeful, with a smirk] Yeah… Beauty didn’t need a prince. Beast didn’t need a beauty. They needed the crew… and the guts to open the damn door. The old fairy tales are still mad about it.
