Fading away With the dusk light of the day I found no reason in the night’s twilight to stay Laying awake I’ll never pray my soul to take I stopped believing in the fallacy of fate A star and a wish, and a moonlight kiss Isn’t enough to bring my heart back to bliss And all the unicorns and rainbows can’t alter this I can’t do anything right, but I’ll try Paving the way For biological decay My hope is fleeing and my sadness stays the same Fading away Into the dawning of the day My flag is waving and there’s nothing more to say A star and a wish, and a moonlight kiss Isn’t enough to bring my heart back to bliss And all the unicorns and rainbows can’t alter this I can’t do anything right, but I’ll try to follow you to A star and a wish, and a moonlight kiss Isn’t enough to bring my heart back to bliss And all the unicorns and rainbows can’t alter this I can’t do anything right, but I’ll try

Eventually knots untie Oh eventually, seas will dry Oh eventually dreams will die

No fairy teardrops And at the end of a rainbow there’s no gold But I could never stop Denying the truth to keep all hope It’s something I’ve never got And it’s insanity that keeps me sane With feeble happy thoughts Fairy teardrops fall like rain Believe in what you want Deny the dark that haunts Live in a fantasy and it’ll be alright Ignore the night Live for the afterlife Deny and tell yourself that it’ll be alright It’s all a contradiction That life’s a miracle but they don’t exist in life And the stars won’t listen But the thought of it helps me sleep at night With dreams of utopias Immortal kittens, life without shame Clouds made of hope because Fairy teardrops will fall like rain Believe that everything will be alright Though I’ve been restless all my life And wishing upon a star every night Longing for something more than life Now sanity’s a fading light Believe that everything will be alright Believe in what you want Deny the dark that haunts Live in a fantasy and it’ll be alright Ignore the night Live for the afterlife Deny and tell yourself that it’ll be alright

This legacy’s worthless, and all I can do is watch it unfold Cuz life makes me nervous, such a clumsy being, yet its maneuvers are bold A glimmer of youth, a sparkle of truth, ignites then it fades, before enlightening you Cuz we can’t unlearn this, and we must accept that nothing’s in our control I know, I’m not even close to who I wanna be. Shinning, like a star barely born and flickering. Though I don’t deserve this, always letting ships sail as I stand on the shoal. It’s you that’s discerned this, my little first purpose, my little fragment of soul. A mystic blue moon, a listless cocoon, leaves you blind and glossed, before transcending you. Cuz we can’t discern this, though it changes everything and makes us whole. The fog, of resentment in my, view Clears because of you, sun shining through Gleaming dew, a phoenix soars overhead and Behind its plumes, flowers bloom. Let everyone make, believe, that they see, destiny. Cuz I’d die for you. Digging through, this rubble of truth. I know I’d die for you. I’d take the noose. My only thing to lose. Oh oh oh oh oh You know I’d die for you. Breaking through, this bubble of youth. I know I’d die for you.

The shimmering beaut, above the stream teases me yeah Sun rays promising to release me from the icy deep Rigid or smooth, it all depends on how the stream erodes you But I’d rather not be confined to a stream anyway yeah I can’t believe my earthly prophecies dismal and diseased too Oh I can see meadows, butterflies, the places that I’d rather be The dreary desire plucks a tear, a jewel of fire yeah Emerging from the deep, breaking the stone, as the pieces sink Rigid or smooth, it all depends on how the stream erodes you But I’d rather not be confined to a stream anyway yeah I can’t believe my earthly prophecies dismal and diseased too Oh I can see meadows, butterflies, the places that I’d rather be

If you follow your dreams, prepare to wake up Despite what you believe, this world’s not enough So you self-medicate, you learn to give up And if you follow your dreams, prepare to wake up As the Pegasus eclipses the sun Glittery rainbow light falls on the chosen one Just then lightning flashes at the demon’s call As thunder crashes breaking palace walls Then the angels sing, and the children scream as darkness falls over everything Then I wake, and see That the dream is done If you follow your dreams, prepare to wake up Despite what you believe, this world’s not enough So you self-medicate, you learn to give up And if you follow your dreams, prepare to wake up If you follow your dreams, prepare to wake up Despite what you believe, this world’s not enough So you self-medicate, you learn to give up And if you follow your dreams, prepare to wake up If you follow your dreams, prepare to wake up Despite what you believe, this world’s not enough So you self-medicate, you learn to give up And if you follow your dreams, prepare to wake up
