fairytales


i don't care for your fairy tales they sound pleasant but the keep me from dreaming dreaming scheming to find ways, to find ways to make it seem like something it's not something it never will be never should be never could be never was meant to be cause some things are never meant to be see, i dont care for your fairytales cause in my world they dont exsist like a figment of my imagination i'm pacin back and forth on your heart kissing your aorta while i leave my footsteps on your left ventricle gliding across your right atrium just to make sure i hit every artery yeah, every single artery a part of me wants to believe in the fairy tales with the daises, the bumblebees, perfectly trimmed bushes, trees, Cinderellas and sleeping beauties fairytales, fairytales, i hate these so ima hop in my car just throw me the keys and we can cruise around town listening to sweet sweet melodies i'll go ahead and let the world rage outside of me until i reach my destination my destination of concentration concentratin while i contemplate and dream about the fairy tales oh the fairy tales i only see them in my dreams i mean when i have them and when i have them i wish to sleep forever jst so i can grasp them a little bit longer but i cant hold on to something i only see in my subconscious silly silly me, its probably wrong for me to want this you no longer the fairy tales i'm referring to got me falling all over the place like i never learned to tie my shoe tripping, not knowing what to do i was just wondering how much it would cost me to buy a clue your wallet's full of pesos but i only carry twenties see i have no interest in renting the dreams you offer me because dreams later on turn in to schemes and all the other in betweens see i have no intrest in renting the dreams you offer me simply because i can buy my own every night before i lay down my head lay down my head in my queen size bed queen size only because its fit for a queen i don't mean to be mean but the only time i see fairy tales is when i look at you like the ocean so blue a beautiful sight but somewhere that same ocean is crashing hard on to a rock that does not want to be crashed upon my fairy tales never have happy endings i cant even call them fairy tales anymore just nightmares with never ending beginnings
