The third track and third movement in Color Theory’s “Blue” section uses fairy tale imagery and metaphor as a vehicle for self-criticism.

[Intro]
Okay, let's do it
[Verse]
I am a liar and my truths are shackled in
My dungeon of fire, I'm the princess of screwin' up
And you wear your armor
And you save pretty girls like me
But I'm not so pretty
When I am naked
You are a mirror
Say I'm the fairest of all
I am "fake it 'til you make it" in a can
And you have a calmness
That I could never understand
But you let me in and
You will regret it
'Cause I'm only looking
For my skewed reflection in you
Fallen out of what I thought was love
'Cause you are a question
That I thought I could solve
But you don't need solving
You're just not what I want
And I want an answer
To all my problems
But there's not an answer
I am the problem for me, now and always
I will break my own bones
'Til my legs stop walking
And my bed is my throne
My room is a kingdom
For the princess of screwin' up
And I'll be the dragon
I'll hold me captive
My world is sinking
And I am the captain of it all
Of it all
Of it all
Of it all

I was just shitting on myself for fun—I wrote this one in 20 minutes—but I was also really harshly confronting all these little problems. I wanted it to have this sense of comic relief, like when you joke with your friend about your unhealthy habits. It goes through all of these recurring problems t...
I wrote this one in about 15 minutes. The lyrics here are me just ragging and telling on myself for all these things that I do. It sucks, but if I’m being honest, this is the level that it’s at. It’s about coming to terms with and being honest about your own flaws and your own reoccurring behavior t...
