glass slipper
Once upon a "goodbye" dream
City lights and sirens
Chilly nights, petty fights between my friends and I
Sick of livin' on the fly
Still prolly stricken by the fact I flew so damn high
I feel the envy, I feel the urge to pretend-be
A self-important sinderella 'til the morning end me
Was it all a waste of time?
Puzzle pieces in my pocket as I chased the lines
To read between, besides you guys
Seem to think that I'm trying to re-define
What it means to rhyme, maybe I just like to write
Please go mind your own business, fine where I'm at resigned
Cheap, but 'til the glass slipper outgrows me
I'll keep tossin' words back quick as they're thrown me
I'd rather disown me then die old and lonely
So the story goes, the one they sold me
A tragic tell, say it "feels fine"
No magic spell heals time
Staring deep inside, I can't hold back, ah
Can't believe that I'm that so far off track (as silence fell, dreams flatlined)
Pick up the film rolls, burn the cinema down
Give up or give in or drown (re-wind)
Glad I stuck around
No right wish I could make
For every selfish mistake
Heart break, jealousy, lasting past the high
A thousand lives that passed me by (huh)
Still, time lets me escape
Before the future takes shape
I'll rip the sutures of undesirable fate
Somewhere beyond the darkened ocean
Stars I'll reach soon dance along the waves
Stay bright, take flight
Dance beyond midnight
Stay bright, take flight
Just might dance along the waves
When the fairytale is through
The villains ought a fail, 'cause they all do
Imaginary same-old-me versus you
In a moment of weakness and fear, I lost muse (musical) inspiration
And made lies up on the spot, and stayed pissed
Wishing I could reach far and be that me from back then
Not a worry in the world, just a kid in play pretends
A tragic tell, say it "feels fine"
No magic spell heals time
Staring deep inside, I can't hold back, ah
Can't believe that I'm that so far off track (as silence fell, dreams flatlined)
Pick up the film rolls, burn the cinema down
Give up or give in or drown (re-wind)
Glad I stuck around
No right wish I could make
For every selfish mistake
Heart break, jealousy, lasting past the high
A thousand lives that passed me by (ah)
Still, time lets me escape
Before the future takes shape
I'll rip the sutures of undesirable fate
Somewhere beyond the darkened ocean
Stars I'll reach soon dance along the waves
Once upon a "goodbye" dream
Stay bright, take flight
Dance beyond midnight
Stay bright, take flight
Just might dance along the waves
No right wish I could make
For every selfish mistake
Heart break, jealousy, lasting past the high
A thousand lives that passed me by (ah)
Still, time lets me escape
Before the future takes shape
I'll rip the sutures of undesirable fate
Somewhere beyond the darkened ocean
Stars I'll reach soon dance along the waves
Once upon a "goodbye" dream
Stay bright, take flight
Just might dance along the waves
