Can you see it in my eyes

What it is I’m trying to say

Autumn’s almost over

And the sky has gone to grey

There’s no ocean here to stand by

No sand beneath my feet

Just miles of open fields of stone

A city, a country, a maze of damp streets

----------

There’s a burning in my heart

A bird of fire with no time to dream

A candle almost blown out by the hustle and bustle

And I’m nothing that I’ve ever been

I’m running fast away from here

To open air, sky, life

Now could you tell me please cause I’m curious to hear

What is it you wanted me to find

----------

And this love, this mutable dance of ours

Traces the yellow brick road back to my heart

Am I the Dorothy of your Oz

Or am I just slowly falling apart

And there’s no place like home like heaven like hell

Is there a place for me?

Am I real, or is it your own self-induced haze

Or is this dream really reality

----------

Is my passion misinterpreted

As idiocy, or perhaps ignorant blather

Just because you can’t comprehend it

Doesn’t mean it’s me you must slander

I may not run your course like a good little girl

And I may not follow your line of thought

But my spirit, though wounded, still stands

And my insanity can never be bought

----------

So don’t judge me before you know me

Your ignorance isn’t bliss at all

It’s stupidity bred to it’s fullest

So don’t stick me with your fall

Don’t open the door of your heart to me

You might not want to let me in

Because I’m a disease with no vaccine to find

I’m the cause of all your children’s sins

----------

But step into my lamp light

I can’t clearly see your mind

It’s shrouded with anger and jealousy

Because it’s really you falling behind

And my soul is riddled with passages

So don’t try to fight your way through

Because I may be the ugly girl in the corner

But I’ll never be as hideous as you
