Death came to see me today
It came so quickly
I had no time to say goodbye
I asked why now?
I'm young but I guess this is the plan
The man just pulled that trigger
Did he see me there?
I see mom looking down at me
Wish I could wipe her tears

I'm ready for school my ponytails are perfect
With my new shoes on I can't wait to show them to Julie
Standing in the front yard picking at the grass
I can see mom in the kitchen
Happens so fast one of my new shoes is flying off
I'm up in the air being pulled
It smells funny in here this man is rough
Death came to see me today
I had no time to say goodbye
That man seen me there

The wind often combs my hair
I forget everything
When I find it I lose it again
I laugh loud
Burp like a man
Walk like a baby giraffe when I'm drunk in my heels
Jump in mud puddles
Catch the bigger fish
Leave the cap off the toothpaste
But you believe I hold the stars
This will always be a mystery to me

As the sea of music tangles your spine
We dance together yet alone
Drowning and dancing in the blood beneath my veins
Fractured porcelain skin, stained-glass eyes that failed
As a kaleidoscope of debris plays war with my  mind
I wear the scent of you as a necklace

A fairy tale kind of love
We're like Cinderella fitting perfectly

He is not Prince charming
Unlike Snow White you will not wake up  
Yellow brick roads lead to  black eyes

The bathtub was almost my casket
You're holding my head
I just want to leave

The bathtub was almost my casket
You're holding my head
I just want to leave

Wearing the shadows of history
Smothering the hands of thunderstorms
I'm sea sick from the electric rummage in your bones
A bell tower dress tied to my fingertips
Stacking you in the silence of fading manuscripts
An vacant canvas motives my grave
Church steeples, poet healer
Map of the sky, sleep in your lullaby
You're my paper weight
