Once I was a dandelion petal

Floating up to the sky

Then I open up my eyes

To reflect the garden on fire

We must appease all the masses

Or we are all our doubts

Can't break any glasses

Keep our wings flapping

'Cause that's what all this is about.



And there's a creature called me

Wings ripped to shreds

And she's torn from the very things

She keeps close to her chest

And her voice is too quiet

But wants to scream all the words

Wants to break all the bottles she has filled with all the hurt

Patch up all the invisible, internal cuts

But only a piece of paper is all I have.



I don't know how long I will last

Oh how I wish everything I am will be soon in the past

Oh I don't know how long I will last

Might as well hold on to the hope I can still grasp.



But what if it slips through my fingers

Might as well just pull the trigger.
