Condemned to Wonderland - 03/20/11

Well, you’re a goddamn mess
And worst yet,
This is your best
This is you trying hard
To make it far
And keep the crazy
All inside

You’re upset?
Girl, don’t forget
You’re not through yet
You’ve got to
Pull it together
Be stronger than ever
And never admit
You lied

So honey, honey,
I’m loosing my mind
And darling, darling,
I’m out of time
The life I’ve forged
Has just been floored
With ten minutes of silence
So I’m trying to find it
A place to rest
And this wonderland
Seemed the best
I’ll hold it close
With bleeding wrists
And hope it never knows
The normality it’s missed

The lights cut out
And dripping with doubt
You pull yourself out
The murky waters,
Keep it together
If anyone asks
Don’t answer

This isn’t the time to pout
Shake off the frown
Force a smile as you drown
In the murky waters,
Keep it together
If anyone asks
Don’t answer

And I guess it doesn’t matter
And I guess it doesn’t matter
And I guess it never mattered
But if you could hear the clatter
And the tears’ pitter patter
And if you could see me
Purposefully
Walk under ladders
You might understand
Why it might seem
Why I’m condemned
To wonderland

So honey, honey,
I’m loosing my mind
And darling, darling,
I’m out of time
The life I’ve forged
Has just been floored
With ten minutes of silence
So I’m trying to find it
A place to rest
And this wonderland
Seemed the best
I’ll hold it close
With bleeding wrists
And hope it never knows
The normality it’s missed

What do you see in wonderland?
What attraction pulls you in?
All I see
Are broken dreams
And insanity hung
On glitter-dipped strings
There’s something oh so wrong
With this whole scene

And I guess it doesn’t matter
And I guess it doesn’t matter
And I guess it never mattered
But if you could hear the clatter
And the tears’ pitter patter
And if you could see me
Purposefully
Walk under ladders
You might understand
Why might see
Why I’m condemned
To wonderland
