Outstretched arms like fireflies
Wickedly defying gravity
Blink, gone
Blink, there
Blink, gone
Blink, there
Blind trust falls like ocean tides
Moon pushing, pulling
Breath, stroke
Breath, choke
Breath, stroke
Breath, choke
Delicate hands like porcelain spindles
Constructing Pandora's precious box

Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue? Or thought your train moving while sitting still? Maybe I was just crazy. Maybe it was the 60&#039;s. Or maybe I was just a girl... interrupted
