I have been reported MIA
Since the day you took my dream away
I have been wandering around the desert
Hoping for water, for a saviour
I hadn't noticed
How things work
That when you push me over the edge,
The only way to stay alive is to count on myself.

I have been reported MIA
Since the day you ruined it all for me
Playing with my head, twisting my life away
You looked at me and turned away
Not believing for a second I would hold on
And hold on
And hold on
Until my arms pushed me up
And I finally got back up on my feet

I have been reported MIA
Since the day you left me hanging
Running away as fast as I can,
Creating a gap as wide as the world,
Hoping from far away you couldn't destroy me
Guess I was mistaken
For every night you twist me more and more,
Not a lot, just a little, playful little thing
Waiting for the moment it will happen

And I will explode
In a millions pieces
Sending into space
Moments of my life
Boring into Mars
Flashing through Jupiter
Heading toward Platoon,
Rushing away from Earth,
Craving myself a place on the moon and the stars
Hoping for tomorrow
Hoping it will never come
Hoping I get to see it
Hoping It's not to late
To
Gather
All the pieces of me
Scattered around the Universe
Little me,
Scared,
Helpless,
Confused,
Lost in the middle of the Galaxy.
Little me, holding on
And on…
And on…
And…
