The Skin We Shed Has Stories To Tell
Ghost

When every block and tree offered endless chances

When dreams burned with purity, love, goblins and gods

Once upon a time they stood on the edge of a black hole,

With their backs to the blade

Once upon a time they stood on the edge of a black hole,

Amazed by the sun


Their tiny hands clung to their mothers, fathers and their paper dolls

One by one they wilted and withered at the bottom of the sandbox


They cried out, but their creators were without an answer

What about the promises?

Where have our red balloons floated off to?

At best they were replied to with sympathy,

Sadness and distant touches

Overcome by sorrow, greed and hate

One time superheroes fell powerless


Soon there after, the world, in all of it's magic and splendor,

Fell victim to they tyranny of zombies and villains


Oh cruel world, you will not take me tonight

There is a score left unsettled

Oh cruel world, you will not take me tonight

I will slay your dragons with kindness, I will find the tie that binds us

You've taken my Emily's, my Ryan's, Jill's and Jacks

You've taken my laughter and now I'm taking it back

I do not fear your witches, lions or sharks

I have love's lullaby and a night light for a heart

There is a penny in the wishing well and a match left to light

Oh cruel world you're all mine tonight
