Beauty’s Beast

Hanging hope on garden roses
Licking love from silver spoons 

On the run in tundras frozen 
Throwing howls at the moon 

No true way to leave the castle 
Though you came here on your own 

Sometimes you are a prisoner
Sometimes you’re on the throne 

Though his rugged mange offends you
His venom’s nothing new 

Still he keeps you close to him
Beauty is a beast too
