[Soft Instrumental Intro] [Versel] Storybook closed, pages cut my hands. Silver on scalp, rust in the bands. Kissed the crown, dulled my sword, Dragon’s ash in my lungs. Ohhh. Yeah... Ohhh. Yeah... [Pre] Everybody swore there’s a door at the top— key in the lock and the hurting stops. I climbed, climbed—line went slack, looked up once, never looked back. [Chorus] Fucking ever after— hill after hill, then another chapter. No altar, no rapture, just the hunt and the fracture. If peace won’t come, I’ll choose this laughter: I’ll never be done— and that’s my fucking ever after. [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Princess, paycheck, dragon head on the wall, trophies blink in the darkened hall. New map, new debt, same boots, wet socks, another promise locked in a box. [Pre 2] Said “one more win, then I can rest,” but the bar keeps moving like a breath in my chest. I forgot the why, but I used to the grind, the road remembers what I can’t find. [Instrumental Bridge] [Bridge] (ethereal choral) There is no summit. There is no end. There is the step. Again. Again. [Final Chorus] Fucking ever after— hill after hill, then a harder chapter. No altar, no rapture, just the run and the fracture. So I toast the truth, the lone benefactor: I’ll never arrive— and that is my ever after. [Outro tag] I keep the climb. I keep the climb. I keep the climb. I keep the climb. Ohhh. Yeah... Ohhh. Yeah... Never Ever Fucking After.
