My eyes started fading and it was all memories of you.
Like the sun glaring in your face at 6am or the traffic lights too bright to handle on a late night spring walk,
I've been up and down these roads and tiny reflections of you still blind me in my sleep.
Stars collide i am inside upside down in your eyes
May i ask you just one thing
i need your help, before i sink


washed hair flung over my shoulder
i remember that smile
i so happy and wearing red
caught my baby sleeping in my bed

blood washed showers and the steam of a fight
screaming innocent left then right
glass shattering down my wicked curved ways
i tend to make myself be brave

liquid night
liquid eyes
hit my head
and its no surprise
a lime taste in my mouth
i don't miss it,
i don't miss that house

i drench myself in water
and soap wont make me clean
i remove all my memories
and dream only a night time dream
i put away the sadness
cos i cant hide inside

there is only once place to go
and that is where i find,
that is where i find
sparkles and glitter....oh, i love all that shimmers
pull me in and build a transparent cage
I've had enough of sorrow in this place
its so short so short so short
i cant wait wait wait
time to travel out of space
i dress up, pretty in lace
i smile pretty, to your face
my eyes shine a red stone love
happy as the girl i let go above.
