Alice In Wonderland


Run run, run away

Don’t come back another day.

Go forth as you may,

But in a coffin you shall lay.

 

She wasn’t crazy,

She wasn’t a freak.

She didn’t see things,

But she didn’t speak.

Everyone began to notice

“Little Alice has quite the imagination.”

“Don’t bother with her, she’s mental!”

And after that she was shunned.

 

 Run run, run away.

Please go back the other way!

She lies here in waiting

Waiting for you to come.

You don't know her,

You don't know what she's done..

 

 All Alice wanted was an escape.

Her years grew tiring by the second decade.

She ran up a hill, tripped on her heel,

And now the wait is over.

 

You ignored our plea

So now you'll see

The gruesome fate

Of which you can not flee

 

 She ventured around

Jumped off the ground,

On a mushroom that made her fly.

She went up so high

She touched the sky

But the landing blow wasn't shy.

Now she's done it

Now she's trapped.

This wasn't in her plan.

She struggled free

And went to leave

But something caught her head.

 

 "Now you're here.

Don't bother with your frightened look

Every thing's crystal clear.

You searched an escape

And now you wait

You're death is very near.

OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!

But oh wait, nevermind.

Silly girl, you never realised,

You're already dead...
