Happily Ever After

I close my eyes Squeeze them tight Pray I float away To some magical night I’ve been wishing away the life I have And dreaming of a life I’ll never have This is the crutch in my plans My Achilles heel My search for hope only proves to fail And loneliness is what I feel It seems that happily ever after is but a fairy tale I sit beneath the crashing waters Waiting for something that truly matters I watch my dreams roll back away from me I watch them get lost in the endless sea These waves have depleted my existence of all significance I’m gasping for air and I can’t see a way out of this Is it all just a dream I made up in my head? Would it all be better if I just went to bed? Let me dream away and don’t wake me up The cold reality of life just doesn’t give up Let me dream away and then I can pretend That I’ll live happily ever after until the end
