I was born inside the winter wind The cold used to be my only friend And as the night filled with sin Shadows followed me with a grin And a glare that pierced my skin Within my bones would rattle A frightened child thrown into battle I was five and scared to death Making clouds out of my breath To hide in the fog that I had left As the cold wind held me tight I made friends with the night
You are cancer cells and Broken bones and Shards of glass and A burnt down home, you Drowned me out so I couldn't breathe, you Pulled the rug from right under me, but I found a life raft out at sea and Saved myself from everything
Woke up Laundry pile bed stepped on a tack messy floor cereal spilled milk don't cry made coffee spilled sugar ants well **** got dressed shirt backwards and inside out brushed my teeth not pearly quite close though messy bun not quite cat eye liner shoes on the wrong feet no I'm not that dumb skate down the street feeling comfortably numb not listening or watching ***** fell on a rock scraped my knee blood
Open my soul show me real I need to know what it is to feel I feel hidden when I could be flying I'm in this cage he thinks I'm like a butterfly that needs to spread my wings i only he could open the door i would fly into the spring
You've made me turn to tales of make believe; I'm begging you to leave my mind because in the night I'm thinking of you and in the day I'm dreaming of you. So please, Just leave, I don't need another fairy tale... Not right now... Not right now...
