Hysterically Accurate

We've all got our stories.

Once upon a time, there was a boy who had learned a lot but was still quite ignorant. When he received the call, he answered and climbed the mountain without fear in the moon's light. By conquering the evils at the peak, he proved his righteousness, but received none of the rewards he felt he had earned. The princess he saved remained in her castle with a feeling of guilt for her lack of gratitude, but remained motionless. She had more hedonistic matters to attend to. The boy turned away, slightly disappointed, but still strong. That is, until he heard the call once again, which caused him to immediately forget the lack of worth in his previous actions. He came running despite knowing that he wouldn't make it out alive this time. His foot was caught in a trap and out of a great sacrifice, he was able to rescue the princess at the cost of his own life.

Miraculously, though, he crawled out alive. His recovery was a long and painful one. With every step, the shooting pains of memory filled his mind and body. But he rose to his feet and learned to walk again. And he found a new land with new princesses. And he learned to love again.

"I'll silence you with sex and drugs and education
Murder you in mind and heart for all you put me through
This is my last song for you
I will not be your number two."
