[fadingfalling]

I am not the marginal kind of girl

Who you can push off into the corner once you’ve had your fill

The kind of girl you string up by the wayside

Because you think it is funny to make girls cry

But the marginal girls deserve more as well

It’s not their fault the world has taught them not to be brave

What we deserve is a world without people like you

A world where we no longer need to hide

[fadingfalling]

And you say dandelion girl, don’t fly away

But it doesn’t matter to me. Your words are just empty space

So laugh all you want, flyaway boy

One day, you’ll have to come back down to earth

[fadingfalling]

You end up alone 

With your god in the dark

All because 

Of your spun sugar heart

[fadingfalling]

And it is easy to love by candlelight

When you wish for a protector from the monsters

But dawn strips away your shadow romance

Rusting the armor of your delusion

Still, there is a chance for something beautiful

When all your loves lie bleeding

Remember who you are in the solitude and the stillness

And maybe then you will have a chance to be happy

[fadingfalling]

Let’s pretend we live in a beautiful world

Where people mean it when they smile

[fadingfalling]

You are someone who does not know the sound of longing

[fadingfalling]

I do not love the sun

So much as I fear the stars

[fadingfalling]

There is poetry in the gap between us

Maybe one day, it will be a beautiful story

Once we have unraveled it into something meaningful

And look back with the hazy gold gaze of nostalgia

Maybe then it will not be the quiet sort of tragedy

Where things die without notice or fanfare

Maybe then it can be the song it was destined to be

Instead of a tale told in what-ifs
