Maybe the girl with those blue ocean eyes
Is hiding her beauty behind that disguise
She’s running to safety from whatever lies
In the shadows of darkness and nights of surprise
Growing in stature yet shrinking in size
Wishing for a home with warm apple pies
She’s running through life all the lows and the highs
Running to her perfect and polished surprise
A journey so long she said all her goodbyes
To people who care if she lives or she dies
To those who will not think about her demise
And to those who would lay her under the blue skies
So less of today and more of tomorrow
Is what she was thinking through all of her sorrow
After the storm is a colorful rainbow
So she chases her dreams so as to not borrow
Time and empathy from others who if
On the edge of their minds they just fall off a cliff
Seeming so warm yet internally stiff
Humming along to the tune of her riff
Why does she have to go through all that pain
To lose so much but so little to gain
Unless she chooses a path that may contain
Flowers of fire and chants of champagne
So here we are now, at the end of her sorrow
She lives in today yet dreams of tomorrow
Where finally she can feel like she is happy
Only for demons to return to her
