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
