Somewhere over the rainbow
Where I can witness magic
A place of my own
No friend or foe

Just me alone
Comforted by the open air
Wide open eyes, I glare
In this painting I roam

Forever in here, I belong
Such a perfect paradise
If I'm sleeping, pinch me twice
I'm sure in here nothing could go wrong

There's no *** of gold
I thought that was a lie
To keep searching till I die
Now I'm tired of believing what I've been told

The grass grows blue
Flowers blossom to my tune
I won't be leaving here soon
How I'm here, not even a clue

A multitude of stars
Still the moon shines brighter than the sun
No one else to witness, I'm the only one
But being here still doesn't heal the scars

Wish I would never wake up to this mess
Life is full of disgust and filth
I broke down everything I built
How I truly feel, no one could guess

Still this ain't enough
If I can't have you near
To hold you here
It's the end of love I fear

I miss everything you are
Everything we did together
Remember when we said forever?
Why do you have to be so far?

I hope you'll come back to me
These dreams can't handle
It's more than a scandal
I wish to never blow out this candle

I don't want to come back
Reality is not where I belong
Everything only feels so wrong
Why does the pain last so long?

Sleep is the only escape
There I can change my fate
Forget about hate
Depression will have to wait

If only I had my heart
I love you so bad
To be denied of that makes me mad
What even ripped us apart?

Maybe you forgot about us
The amazing things we held
You didn't realize what I felt
I know I must live with what I'm dealt

I would watch the world rot away
But I'd stay focused on you
Fill me up, make me new
Your my light in the darkest day

If you don't take the next step
This path will crumble and fall
I'm stopped by a brick wall
Please don't be a doll

I need to know
Will you be there
Grasp the love we share
To finally end this nightmare
