~ Paper Dolls....
Paper dolls, with real lifes, real hearts....
Where did they go wrong
When did they get lost??!
Standing on the corner, their worlds passing by
Strangers everywhere, while trying to forget
Always running; their empty eyes....
Memories, of when they were young
All they have, is what once was ~
Paper dolls, with dreams fading inside; fading inside
Hollowed; hollowed mornings and darker nights!?
Awakening to these walls, I see them all
Standing there smiling but dying; dying
Where did they go wrong
When did they get lost??!
These dolls turned to paper; the substance of their lives....
I gaze, with this fire burning deep inside
How could this be I wonder
These precious, these precious eyes; deep inside
This world, this place; where did we go wrong
When did we get lost??!
