I choose to ignore my aching heart Carrying it in secret behind my shadow smile Heavy legs take me around this cold dance floor Waltzing as words beat on my sensitive brain I’m Alice in Wonderland! Drowning in abnormality Forcing myself bigger in a shrunken surround… One two three, One two three, Keep it in har mo ny Round and round I continue to go Rising on tip toes in my mental capped boots Dancing small steps to the matriarchal tune While turning my blind eye away.

Mother's Tune
I choose to ignore my aching heart Carrying it in secret behind my shadow smile Heavy legs take me around this cold dance floor Waltzing as words beat on my sensitive brain I’m Alice in Wonderland! Drowning in abnormality Forcing myself bigger in a shrunken surround… One two three, One two three, Keep it in har mo ny Round and round I continue to go Rising on tip toes in my mental capped boots Dancing small steps to the matriarchal tune While turning my blind eye away.
