Chasing Fairy Tales

Remove my heart
Take away the pain
I’m torn apart
And going insane
I can’t do this any more 
My heart is broken
To its core
I can’t take this anymore!

Staring at the stars
In this midnight sky
Wondering if
Tonight I were to die
Would anyone even 
Ask why 
Cause this journey is so long and damned
Makes me question who I am
Feeling so small
Locked behind these prison walls

So you say 
You’re done 
Chasing fairy tales
You’re done being  young and naïve
Hoping for a happily ever after
That will only end in disaster 
Cause you don’t wanna be seen

Dreaming of a picture perfect
Memory 
That will only end in misery 
Broken and abused 
So empty and used 
Like my aching heart 
I’m giving love my best 
But it shot me in the chest 

So you say 
You’re done 
Chasing fairy tales 
You’re done being  young and naïve
Hoping for a happily ever after
That will only end in disaster 
Cause you don’t wanna be seen

 Every step I take 
Is just another mistake
I fall deeper and deeper
Into this hell hole 

Within this body 
Is a rotting soul 
Inside my f****** mind
My soul screams
Happiness I can not find
Not even in my dreams
I feel like I’m not worth sh**
In the midst of it 
I need a God
And the strength to believe
Again and again
Since I’ve been deceived 
Mankind has taken its toll on me
So far down
I’m being dragged beneath
No one hears a sound
The devil has his hold on me
My heart begins to pound
I’m blind, and failing to see
Oh, what I’d give to be young and naïve again
Not dwelling on this bitter end
Free from this sinking sand


So you say 
You’re done 
Chasing fairy tales 
You’re done being  young and naïve
Hoping for a happily ever after
That will only end in disaster 
Cause you don’t wanna be seen

Remove my heart
Take away the pain
I’m torn apart
And going insane
I can’t do this any more 
My heart is broken
To its core
I swear to God
I can’t take this anymore!
