The only girl who's
ever seen me
is locked away in
a tower
miles above the ground
high up in the clouds

She's closer to the sun
than she is to me

there are flames the lick
the ancient bricks
and all around- a moat
filled with piranhas
and sharks
and poison

I built a ladder to the sky
but lightning struck me down
I built a helicopter I could fly
but the blades wouldn't spin around

I thought I'd try
to sneak inside
but was chased out by a troll
he warned me,
"if you try again,
your life will be the toll."

Sometimes, when the night is silent,
I can hear her soft, sweet cries
and I howl up to the merciless stars
and spell my grim goodbyes

for I am gone
I've disappeared
from so long not being seen
I've been invisible
just enough time
my life may have been a dream...
