I Dream To Fly
Why would I stay?
Why would I fight?
I can't find my way
I lost it out of sight
The little girl
on that old photograph
danced and twirled
fell down and laughed
They say it's me
I close my eyes
in disbelief I shake my head
I can't be recognized
not even slight
I seem so happy
so strong and carefree
But that's in the past
it will never come back
for my smile didn't last
and now everything's dark
It's irrelevant
it doesn't matter
This isn't Wonderland
and things won't get better
So listen to me
hear what I say
I'm gonna be free
in the wind I will sway
I know what to do
it won't take too long
I'm holding the blade
and sing one last song
My veins have been slit
the floor's turning red
There's no sign of pain
I can't feel a bit
Alone in my room
whilst waiting for death
I look at the moon
as I take my last breath
Now I'm gone
floating in the stratosphere
letting go and moving on
of what was once
and what's to be
I had to go
and say goodbye
I had to die
so I could fly
