• Every time I wake up
    I fall back asleep
    Because I like it better that way

    With nowhere to go
    I wander through limbo
    Browsing like a child in a candy store

    Looking for the tastiest thing
    That would make my life so sweet
    But my life is only tasty
    When I fall asleep

    So I wander through limbo
    Trying to find the treat
    The thing that would make
    My life so sweet

    But every turn of the corner
    Every open door
    Leads me to a world
    I have fled before
    I swore I locked it up tight
    But it keeps flying open

    To remind me of all the bittersweet days
    Where tears ran like stallions down my face
    And words turned to knives as they cut under my skin

    And children would look with their judgmental eyes
    To see the poor girl sitting outside
    The school yard at the end of the day
    Waiting for no one to take her away

    I slammed the door with an almighty push
    But all I needed was one look
    I could hear the crying in my head
    No sweet music could drown it out

    No sight could erase her face
    Tears running all over the place
    Even if I gave her candy she'd cry on

    So I decided limbo was no home
    The candy was tainted
    The sweetness overgrown
    After seeing perfection
    I longed for my ratty old home
    So I opened the door
    And went home
