Color Balloons

Oh, to live on top of the highest mountain
in a castle of a dark cold love
a place I never wanted to be I love summers breeze
please let me be free like a balloon

Though my sad lonely years holding on too dreams
praying to here I will be leaving soon
that I have past my test with no regrets
It's so noisy at the fair far away from here
I love the sound of kids playing around

I bite all my old friends are there
dancing around given candy kisses to a happy clown
little ones holding on to their mother and father
not making a fuss of who is around them

but if they only known the eyes that is hunting them
Oh, to live on the top of a darken mountain
I can see a lot from my darken bedroom
If only they could see me too

Oh, colored balloons of a beautiful moon you see it too
There's a girl just down the away losing her way
Oh please don't turn to the lying eyes because it will hurt
the pains of him will cut deep within your soul

please walk away with a smile on your face knowing
you said no to the ****, let your color balloons loos
let them fly high into the midnight sky
I pray you had read all my words I had ever written
can you hear my tears fall from my bedroom window
words of my silence

Words of a woman missing
Did anyone read the hidden note of me?
Oh, to live on top of that cold darken mountain
locked away in a darken dream up in a castle praying for
true Love to find me to break the spell that was put on me

oh, colored balloons fly high away into the midnight sky
I want to see freedom even if it is only make believe it is me
I know I am underneath the stairs that shine so bright
giving back some glares for wishes to be made

To the people who never dreams to people who do dream
to the people who sleeps in peace
Thinking of your freedom like the color balloons
You're leaving too soon you want to be alone

please hold on to what you have and be glad
never look back at your broken down past
if you do look back you may not find your way back.
