Memory still haunts her like a semi
Endless dreams of headlights
Gravestones all around
Buried in the ground
The sound of midnight howls
Annie McLaughlin Sep 2015
You try to live the life you should
But everything just seems too good
So you end up living just like dad
Never settling, always sad
Annie McLaughlin Sep 2015
Now tell me if I did anything
Now tell me, didn't I do everything?
And tell me when I started turning blue instead of red
What's with my heart and soul and mind
They're all acting dead

You can not ever feel the same after such a tragic pain
But princess, you're a star
And all the tragic tragedies are what makes you who you are
When you walk out of a storm
Looking as if you got caught in the disaster
You still wear your smile
And that is what makes you beautifully beautiful to me

My dear, it isn't all gore and blood in the real world
Not only knives and guns hidden under the pillow
Not only crying kids
And crying moms
And whimpering dogs cause they know something's wrong
Somewhere there's happy people
And hugs for free
Don't have to bundle up to hide what's underneath
Cause darling, there's nothing under their long sleeves
I'll try to find that place
But wish me luck, cause I haven't had none
I'll be running through the backyards
Rooting for your freedom

Look out little blue bird
Don't fall apart
You're too young and fragile
To have a broken heart
Please don't sing a sad song
Don't even know one
Look out for the new bird
Two is more than one

Look out little blue bird
Look out, don't you run
Face your problems, little blue bird
Or don't have none

Lock your heart, little blue bird
Give away your love
But when they offer, blue bird
Don't take none

So look out
Where you spread your wings and fly
Don't you go too far
Leave something behind
Wrote this soooooo long ago

Madeline, Madeline
Shut your eyes really tight
Come with me, its about time
I'll take you to your paradise
Come on my dear
You can fly
Madeline

She took another step
Till she was right on the ledge
Her eyes could see so far
To the heavens and back
She spread her arms like wings
And falls as if she's really flying

Madeline, Madeline
You're a blessing in disguise
Madeline, Madeline
Trust me dear, just close your eyes

Falling like a devil's trap
Madeline no longer cried
Madeline, she's going down
But Madeline says she's finally free

Come with me, take my hand
Death isn't as bad as you thought it were
More of an escape than the afterworld

Madeline, Madeline
I'm calling you, Madeline
Come with me and you'll be safe
Your scars will heal
You'll see better days

Madeline, just let go
Madeline, don't give up hope
Madeline, you can fly
Madeline, but then you'll die
Madeline, you can be free
Madeline, come with me
