Now
I painted over my chipped nail polish
And dreamed away my fears
I stopped breathing in toxic waste
And wiped away my tears

Gentle hands and tarnished rings
A key in your pocket
To open a song that sings
A heart on my throat, a locket

A dream in a day
A jellyfish in the sea
A sky with a elephant
Would you dance with me?

Could you swim to my shore
Would you find my Island
Your not Johnny Depp
But you broke my silence

Open my heart
Unfolded my wings
Taught me to fly
And shared many things

A night with a meal
A tower of gold
A person who loves
Like a deadly cold

It is catchy it's infectious
And you will never be better
Trapped like a prisoner
Within a heart shaped fetter

But you have the key
So set yourself free

Swim away and sing on
I'm not going, I'm gone
