knave

when i look through the looking glass
mirror image of our past
colored and distorted
not at all as reported
what runs through my head
all the lies that you fed
to me
while we

And alice
she never saw this rabbit hole coming
if she had
she'd have gone the other way, running
in this wonderland
what really matters
can i trust that you'll stay
in my world of mad hatters?

You create sorrow where there's none to be found
hell bent on staying low to the ground
you're a mock of what you used to be
i'm trying to make sense of what's left of me
you're out enjoying your spoils
while i'm left here, fainting in coils
i thought that you were
but then you preferred her

what really matters
in this land of mad hatters?
riddles and rhymes, would you like some wine
why were you here wasting my time?
crazy is what you called me - when I cried
but genius is just insanity, usefully applied
why can't you see
its always been in me

And alice
she never saw this rabbit hole coming
if she had
she'd have gone the other way, running
in this wonderland
what really matters
can i trust that you'll stay
in my world of mad hatters?

we're both in denial
now its time for your trial
accused of blowing my world apart
the cunning Knave of Hearts
you're twisting the story
to live out your glory
but you'll be
guilty, you'll see

And alice
she never saw this rabbit hole coming
if she had
she'd have gone the other way, running
saved herself
kept her heart close at hand
saved herself
from your wonder
from your wonderland

next to you

ever since i saw your face
i knew i wanted to occupy the space
next to you
