The breeze of summer knocks at my door
And I reach out the window to find
The little chirps from the birds that echo as they sing in the sky
I put my half read book to the side
And with a smile ask, “Oh from where have you flew?”
Wearing my blindfold I knew it was still only 3 afternoon…
This world is plain and simple it seems
Yes I know that it’s me who is strange
I’m just a monster that nobody gets and this will not ever change
Deep in the woods hidden out of their view
There is a house that was made to keep me from their sight
And surely that’s why nobody would еver dream of stopping by
Don’t show them your еyes!
I shut my heart and my mind
Cause all alone is all how I can live my life
With every day seeing only these things in this house at my side
All my dreams they all come from the books that I read
So if I dream a world that I never will see
Would you forgive those childish thoughts of mine please?
Softly said it had followed me
Within this crazy world that I was born into
There was life inside me
Ever so faintly beating
Tell me out in that world so wide
Is there a future that I dream one day will come find me?
Today I’ll wait again. One day I’m sure it’ll knock at my door
In a daze I stare at the sky
When a noise breaks the quiet around
There was a voice calling out and I froze at the fright of the sound
I stumbled around and knock down the tea
And it spilled over all of the desk
“What do I do”? I had thought as I trembled in fear at my bed...
“If you meet their eyes
“They’ll turn to stone at the sight”
Is what my parents had told to me countless times
I was the same and could do nothing more than cry out in the night
Books and fairytales have monsters and freaks all the same
They all are feared and hated they’re lost and ashamed
And I’m no different. God please just take me away!
Knocking loud it had called to me
The very sound that I both feared and dreamed
And my chest was tightening dearly
Oh God I can’t think clearly!
This wide world I had yearned to find
And prayed would call out with ever so softly a beating
Found me more easily
Than ever I knew or had hoped it would be
Finding me alone hid away down and cowering
The person looked on with such surprising eyes
“If you look my way then your body turns to stone.”
I said shaking, but they just smiled back
“All throughout my life I’ve been scared of living too”
So scared like I had been frozen into stone
“But hey don’t you think our world would be so much brighter”
“If we weren’t so scared to go?”
Ringing out was a sound so bright
My heart was filled with such imagination
Of what that world would be like
Its pounding had echoed inside
Tell me you who could bring me there
What sort of future for us both is out and waiting?
If I get lost again
I hope you’ll come and you’ll find me again
The breeze of summer calls out again
It gently blows back the hood you had gave
And then I smiled as ever so gently it danced and it swayed…
And I reach out the window to find
The little chirps from the birds that echo as they sing in the sky
I put my half read book to the side
And with a smile ask, “Oh from where have you flew?”
Wearing my blindfold I knew it was still only 3 afternoon…
