A girl waits for prince charming
To be carried to her on the wind
Arriving on a white horse
To quickly swoop in
To save her from the dark
To save her from demise
One glance at him will bring stars to her eyes
Her heart will beat louder than a drum
Her skin will turn white as if she’s seen a ghost
She will believe that he’s fallen from heaven
He will be hers and she will be his
Exchanging loving words through moments of bliss
Sometimes love is amiss
But not when you’re hit with cupid’s kiss
The words that I knew to be true
Once said from me to you
Echo throughout this hollow room
The life that I once knew
Ended in the fire that purified you
And left me to linger in this hollow room
Now a memory of who I used to be
And now a ghost
Still haunted by every lie
And now a memory of what once stood before me
And now a ghost
Now so hollow and lost in the shadows
Now just a ghost
In the in between for eternity
Every thought fades away from
Every word is a whisper that cannot be heard
I will fade to darkness
I will stay where I am
With no light in my hand
I will stay in darkness
I don’t even recognize myself
I don’t even know who I am
Can I be free from this hell?
Or will I become like the wind
Transparent and void
Will I hear my name again?
I don’t think so
For now just a ghost
Lost in the shadows
For eternity
I’m only a memory
From the sun
Born golden
Darkness in our hearts
The chosen
Water fills our lungs
Drowned in the sea
Words leave us as we pray
Saying what we were never meant to say
I am nothing
Living on faith and time
My heart’s a window
For the devil to creep inside
A daydreamer with eyes of blue
Untarnished by the world that kept you
Bathed in days of gold
Never knowing the cold
With his head in the clouds
Never once had to look down
Spinning all around
Reaching for the stars
Although you’re miles apart
Happiness floods your heart
A daydreamer
Floating so high
Flying with birds in the sky
One day realized
The world is not as it seems
Monsters lurk in the seams
And call to those whose hearts are dark
They ravage worlds and tear them apart
The daydreamer comes crashing down
Now reality is the only sound
And evil is abound
Shelter me in a deep blue
Hide me in the ocean
Warm me in the light of you
Turn me to gold
Take the stars from my eyes
To see through black
Guide me to the one who knew
I cannot turn back
For the screaming is behind me now
Bathed me in dark red
And I know what it is like not to exist
The spectrum entered my world and illuminated
Every dreary place I once hated
The spectrum entered my world and illuminated
My cold, clear skin
Been floating for so long
Head in the clouds
Never before did I have to look down
I’m not used to walking around
My legs are weak and buckle beneath me
And real life is now my reality
The home I knew has faded away from me
I don’t recognize this place
And I don’t recognize these faces
Even the air is different
The world I knew is in pieces
And I’m afraid
And I’m alone
I want so badly to return to my home
But I cannot and that’s okay
I think I am better off this way
I must venture on
I need to embrace this change
Although my life will never be the same
I must change
I must grow
No longer can I live my life in the shadows
Hoping for the day to come
Praying for things that may never come
So I will be strong
And I will hold on to my memories
But I cannot be who I used to be
All alone
And a long way from home
Is where I belong
We exchanged a breath to fill our lungs
So words would sound from our tongues
In darkness
We lied still and silent for so long
That we forgot where we belonged
And the faces that were so familiar are gone
Now we are surrounded by strangers
Tall and nightmarish figures
Stalking us like prey
Listening in on every word we say
The cold air brings the death of the day
And the strangers move in close
So I hold you in my arms
To let you know I will cause you no harm
I will not let them tear us apart
The words that once broke your heart
Will not chain you to the dark anymore
The light of the dawn is our savior
And the strangers will disappear
Along with the dark and along with our fear
