As a kid I was taught one thing
Legends do not exist
But some days
I'm still dreaming a world of happy ever after
While feeding into my mind
The power of disasters
I still believed
Head in clouds and I could breathe again
Let go of fears and I could tread on air
To feel lighter than ever before
To outgrow the scars covering what's within
Like burnt up embers smothering the fire that is our skin
And I've tried so hard
Why is the world around me still so dark?
Almost did I lose myself to the hands of Strangers
But I remember back then who you were
You didn't mean to make my world light up
And I can see now that you left it far behind us
But I cannot get used to this
The feeling of uncertainty
It pushes me
To want to know more
And the more I know the less I believe
So maybe legends they do not exist
But I see you, kid
