Ava dwells on imperfections
Wishing an iron could be made
Perfect enough to smooth them out
Ava dreams in seven colors
If only to escape the void
If only to dance freely for a while
Ava doesn't flinch at the medication
She curls a lip and smiles
As she dangles feet in crystal waters
Ava misses her auburn hair,
But misses the salt of the ocean more
The one place she calls home
Ava possesses the courage
Of armies ten thousand strong
Yet, no one hears her battle cries
Ava's heartbeat may finally cease
Before sunrise, before breakfast
But her love won't fade anytime soon

Ava dwells on imperfections
Wishing an iron could be made
Perfect enough to smooth them out
Ava dreams in seven colors
If only to escape the void
If only to dance freely for a while
Ava doesn't flinch at the medication
She curls a lip and smiles
As she dangles feet in crystal waters
Ava misses her auburn hair,
But misses the salt of the ocean more
The one place she calls home
Ava possesses the courage
Of armies ten thousand strong
Yet, no one hears her battle cries
Ava's heartbeat may finally cease
Before sunrise, before breakfast
But her love won't fade anytime soon
