Wedding bells are ringing
Ebony crows fly below the stormy sky
Laughing, smiling singing
As you cry yourself to sleep every night
No hope to get away
Because of petty things
Doesn't seem like I can stay
Because of the wedding day
Wedding bells are ringing
The dark bride walks through the door
The pendulum is swinging
As it all begins to come to a close
Bride and groom kiss
No one can ever miss
Wedding bells are ringing
As you cry yourself to sleep

Trapped in a place
Where nothing exists anymore
Nothing good or right
Nothing is in store
For the girl by the river
We're old memories flow
Drifting around
With nowhere to go
Hiding behind
The mask that she holds
Trying to escape
The unbreakable mold
Of the cage she is held in
With nowhere to go
But the girl by the river
Can't find a way to say no
She can't get away
To find the key
That gives her freedom
For a new place to see.

Shattered faces on the moon
Melting clocks, melting too soon
Broken hearts left on the floor
Because they can beat anymore
People crying, people trying
To pull through the night
Sowers of light
Explode before their eyes
Falling to the ground
People breaking down
As they slip through the cracks
More thunder claps
Sirens wailing
People despairing
It's all over much too soon

Maybe it's not meant for this
Driving for miles and miles
Stuck in the same intersection
Indecisive on the turning point
Speedometer at 10
Not able to go faster
Down the yellow brick road
To have the curtain torn away
Or maybe the compass is pointing North
Going down a curvy road
Confused and alone
But maybe that is inaccurate

A bulb, once shining bright
Started to dim
Briefly in the night
It's power source fades
Turning to brighter lights
As the bulb decays
For a short moment it shines
Again shining bright
Delivering its lines
But no one saw
How it shined so quickly
As of nothing happened at all
So it is taken out
Replaced by a new one
No matter how it may shout
The new bulb, shining brightly
Never will dim
The old chipped slightly
Broken in the trash
With no one
And no more lights flash

I hate the thought
of losing myself to this
Succumbing to it
Not have control
But I can't handle it anymore
It may change me
But maybe that is a good thing
Especially now
That I have lost control anyways

Shaking
Like a leaf in the wind
Not so tranquil
Not so safe
Because I could just blow away
Free to be lost
Or I could stay
Safe where I will die but still connected
Grasp as tight as I can
But I want to let go
Of the stem and the root
Holding me to safety

I can't shut it off
It won't go away
So I will just sleep
To turn off my brain
If not forever
Then for just a few hours
For just a moment of peace
With just a moment of sleep

Swim away
From the river in my eyes
Suppressed by the dam of insecurity
Water slowly leaking over the edge
Out of the reservoir
Out into the open
Crushing the bystanders
With millions of gallons of water
Why are my eyes so blue?
Holding back the waters
that run on the inside
Just breaching the surface
