Take me back to Wonderland,
There's a lot of things to learn,
A train to catch,
Doors to unlatch,
Take me to a different world,
This world is unforgiving,
Show me where's the looking glass,
Where I can escape,
This contentious place,
And put it in my past,
Were drinks can blur your vision,
And change the way you feel,
I only want,
To change my font,
To forget everything that's real,
An alternate reality,
Drink me, Eat me, Taste me,
No sir I can't explain myself,
For I am not myself you see,
I'd do anything to get away,
To get to another place,
But if you do not know,
Where you want to go,
It doesn't matter what path you take,
Just take me far away from here,
I wish nothing more than to leave,
To free myself,
From this awful hell,
To set my spirit free,
Off with her head off with her head,
For its all inside my mind,
Every demon,
Every season,
Is somewhere you won't find,
No mirrors and no reflections,
I do not want to see,
Not good enough,
Not thin enough,
That is simply me,
The smile that is so evident,
Isn't even what I condone,
It isn't real,
I do not feel,
Twisted, doomed, alone,
My hands are not in my control,
They want something I can't give,
My life force,
My minds court,
Its the only way to live,
Take me down to wonderland,
Take me down the rabbits hole,
To a different place,
Where my soul is safe,
Where I am in my own control…
