Forced kiss, broken lips
His fist hurts, doesn't it?
Something's wrong, no more song
First time it hurts most

Virgin snow, cawing crow
Kill that black bird now
Oh Lenore, rapping on the door
Keep knocking and you'll get no answer

Morse code for the hoarse toad
He croaks and she died too
That princess, she's senseless
Frogs don't make princes

King on the pyre, burning fire
His crown can be the mercy noose
Dead man, lead man
Your heart's heavy in your chest

His is weeping, blood is seeping
Bullethole wide and raw
Put down the gun, my unwanted son
It's trembling in your hands

Cain, Cain, shift the blame
Become the devil yourself
Seventh ring, here no one sings
They're hanging on by their nails

Manicure, insecure
Paint 'em as many colours as you know
Cover the scars upon your arms
If no one sees they can't judge

The silent lover, the rejected other
The princess and her dreams
The king who's burnt, and the brother who's hurt
The sinners and the girl with the seams
What's wrong with you?

Trying out rhyming and stringing together verses, however loose they are...
A very easily distracted train of thought that jumps from one person to the next, surveying them and discovering that the world isn't so perfect and easy afterall.

See if you can guess the "issue" the person in each verse is having (last verse is a big hint).
