The crowd has come to a halt,
The birds won't sing for you anymore,
Not like before.

When the trees are all burning,
All the stars will keep on turning,
And I know I won't stop searching,
For the moment when the world,
Stopped for you.

It stopped for you,
Then the world came crashing down,
And it's pulling you in now.

You know all the words to the play,
But all I wanted was you to stay.
Your time is running thing,
'Cause I'm falling through the cracks under your floor.

How does it feel to be alive again?
Stop holding on with your dear breath,
You're one step closer to me...

On the ballroom extravaganza,
I know you won't find me anymore,
I tried to reach for you once more,
But the world,
Came crashing to the ground.

When the story comes to an end,
Will it be the same again?
When all the king's horsemen and all the king's men,
They couldn't put you back together again.

Oh, when the story comes to an end,
Will it be the same again to you?
To you?

When the story comes to an end,
Will you be the same again at all?
At all?
At all?

My love, open your eyes for me...

"Quid in hominibus speras invenire?" I heard one of my sister's voices sound from behind me, approaching the spot I often sat at, overlooking the edge of Utopia. "Quid est quod vere quaeris, Oh'nru?"

Looking behind me over my outstretched wings, I peered beyond my silver feathers to catch sight of her. I had known who it was by voice alone, but I still felt compelled to gaze upon her. "Nah'nku, quid hic exitum agis? Procul ab domo es."

"Veni ut te inveniam..." Nah'nku stepped to the edge of the heavens, lowering herself to sit beside me on the ledge, peering down at the dark void. "Oh'nru hic ludit omni tempore nuper." I turned to face her just in time to see her face pull into a small frown. "Desidero te, soror."

"Quomodo me desideras, Nah'nku? Non usquam abieram." I laughed softly, shaking my head. I reached out my left hand to rest atop her head, mussing up her chin length white hair. I knew she was more perceptive than she let on. She knew I was going to leave soon, regardless of what Father wished.

"Non sum tam iuvenis qui non intellego, Oh'nru." Nah'nku sighed softly, neatly folding her silver wings behind her to settle together. She often did this, when she was anxious. I felt my heart squeeze at the sight of it. "Scio te consilium Utopia excedere." I watched as her silver eyes began to mist over, and I heard the pain in her voice as she spoke again. "Ego iustus cur non intellego? Quid habent homines quod hic invenire non possis?"

"Non est quod explicare possum, Nah'nku..." I sighed, something my time with Hongjoong had taught me how to do, tilting my head as I felt the guilt twist into my stomach. "Quaero somnium meum." 

Open your eyes...

"Somnium tuum?" Nah'nku's brows furrowed in frustration, her voice sinking into disbelief. I knew she couldn't possibly understand where I was coming from. Nah'nku was younger than me, having been made long after I had been, so her next question did not surprise me. "Quomodo somnias si non dormis, Oh'nru?

"Somnium habens, somnum non requirit, Nah'nku..." I cooed softly, letting my hand find hers to place overtop it. Squeezing gently, I tried to think of a better way to explain my desires to her. "Non miraris unquam qualis vita sit?" I hummed, tilting my head toward her. "Vita vera, Nah'nku. Vita cum sensu... vita cum principio et fine."
