glass slipper

Once upon a "Goodbye" dream

City lights and sirens
Chilly nights, petty fights between my friends and I
Sick of livin' on the fly
Still prolly stricken by the fact I flew so damn high
I feel the envy
I feel the urge to pretend-be
A self-important Sinderella 'til the morning end me
Is it all a waste of time?
Puzzle pieces in my pocket as I chased the lines
To read between, besides you guys
Seem to think that I'm

Trying to re-define
What it means to rhyme
Maybe, I just like to write
Please go mind your own business
Fine where I'm at
Resigned

Cheap, but 'til the glass slipper outgrows me
I'll keep tossin' words back quick as they're thrown me
I'd rather disown me then die old and lonely
So the story goes, the one they sold me

A tragic tell, say it "feels fine."
No magic spell heals time
Staring deep inside, I can't hold back
As silence fell, dreams flatlined
Can't believe that I fell so far off track
Pick up the film rolls, burn the cinema down
Re-wind
Give up or give in or drown
Glad I stuck around

No right wish I could make
For every selfish mistake
Heartbreak, jealousy, lasting past the high
A thousand lives that passed me by
Still, time lets me escape
Before the future takes shape
I'll rip the sutures of undesirable fate
Somewhere beyond the darkened ocean
Stars I'll reach soon dance along the waves

Stay bright
Take flight
Dance beyond midnight

Stay bright
Take flight
Just might dance along the waves

When the fairytale is through
The villains oughta fail, 'cause they all do
Imaginary same-old-me vs. you
In a moment of weakness and fear
I lost musical inspiration
And made lies up on the spot, and stayed pissed
Wishing I could reach far and be that me from back then
Not a worry in the world, just a kid in play pretends

A tragic tell, say it "feels fine"
No magic spell heals time
Staring deep inside, I can't hold back
As silence fell, dreams flatlined
Can't believe that I fell so far off track
Pick up the film rolls, burn the cinema down
Re-wind
Give up or give in or drown
Glad I stuck around

No right wish I could make
For every selfish mistake
Heartbreak, jealousy, lasting past the high
A thousand lives that passed me by
Still, time lets me escape
Before the future takes shape
I'll rip the sutures of undesirable fate
Somewhere beyond the darkened ocean
Stars I'll reach soon dance along the waves

Once upon a "Goodbye" dream
Stay bright
Take flight
Dance beyond midnight

Stay bright
Take flight
Just might dance along the waves

No right wish I could make
For every selfish mistake
Heartbreak, jealousy, lasting past the high
A thousand lives that passed me by
Still, time lets me escape
Before the future takes shape
I'll rip the sutures of undesirable fate
Somewhere beyond the darkened ocean
Stars I'll reach soon dance along the waves

Once upon a "Goodbye" dream
Stay bright
Take flight
Just might dance along the waves
