I stared at the big blue cloud,
It was in my hands,
It was so blue that it depressed me
But it was only fluffy candy
I picked a piece from the cloud
I digested it with my eyes and soul,
It was the brightness to a child's life
It was my only happiness
You look at candy,
As sweetness to your life,
but to me it was more,
It was the only freedom I had in the world
I bit into the blue sweetness
As it dissolved in my mouth,
It dissolved my pain,
I was sure everything would be fine again
Then, when the cotton got stuck between my teeth,
So did my hopes and dreams.
I felt like a fool for believing
A fool for trying
A tear slid down my cheek
Making the candy bittersweet
No Cotton Candy can make it go away
Rewrite my story
When they fought and screamed,
I'd try find my happy place,
Eat my sweet Blue Candy,
And just pray it away
I've tried everything
Clovers to Rabbit's Feet,
But this heavenly cloud
was the only price to pay
If my life was all drunk and dead
Would it **** to find my demise-free zone
And just eat some Cloudy Candy instead?
If wishes came true,
With every bite I took
I would have father with me
A Mother to love me
I kept eating the candy though
Even if it didn't taste heavenly anymore
Tears kept streaming down with every bite
I kept the harshness inside
The faster I ate, the more it hurt,
I couldn't swallow the lumps in my throat,
The pain developed inside of me,
Like a tumour, I was a waste, never needed.
You eat all the Candyfloss in the world, it won't work.
It just sweetens the pain, lessens the hurt.
