she says go away
you're not a real boy
only the ghost of a dream
she can no longer imagine
but mommy
i can feel the tears splatter
when they hit the ground
opiated emotions living in a parasite box
opportunity jumps like a junkie when she hears the knock
loneliness and boredom call out like childhood friends playing in the snow
pick up the phone give the family a call
another thumbs up performance of the same old show
a fool in the window and a stranger in the mirror
no time to cry, no place to hide
perhaps another fuck will make the image clearer
she says go away
you're not a real husband
only the ghost of a dream
she can no longer imagine
but lover
i can feel the tears splatter
when they hit the ground
the new scars on your back seem to suit the princess
who dreams of being queen of the night
tell us
will you let us know when you have found love
that can be seen in truth's light?
chaos wrapped in doubt, the game of blame without the shadow of shame
will it be too late when you learn
who's love you can't live without?
regret of the past will not be killed by the anger of today
the secret of happiness is not in waging war with heartbreak
it is in knowing when to lay down your sword and walk away
she says go away
none of you are real
only the ghost of dreams
she can no longer imagine
but we can feel the tears splatter
when they hit the ground
there are children and lovers lying in the earth you moved
there are children and lovers crying in the love you refused
and soon they will all fade away
and soon we will all fade away
keep on dreaming princess and you will have peace some day
your throne room will be empty and silent as a tomb
the ghosts of love and family seated on your right
the specters of doubt and fear on your left
your subjects, we will all have become
vague pixelations of distant memories
into the heart of sickness
we have all faded away
