the fairytale
new song. dedicated to everyone at the vic <3
there are secrets in the stories, they're made up of what we feel
no one ever told you that the fairytale is real
and if you care to wager, then they're sure to make a deal
for all you dream
well there was still so much unspoken in the voices that we wore
i could never be as honest as you give me credit for
but still the world kept spinning, our lives seemed so much more
than what they were
but when he saw her face across the dials,
he knew he'd have to stay awhile
and as far as they're concerned there's nothing else
to to take apart
so just keep looking for the pieces of his
microscopic heart
maybe after all you'll find something there...
you're not the one who has the power to take and to call,
i've given you these choices: live for me--or not at all
and when this thing slows down then i will watch you fall
out of the sky
he watched her like a cork among the waves
something lived he could not save
and as far as they're concerned there's no one else
to sing about
and everything's more complicated than you'd
ever figured out
maybe after all there's something there...
dear, that is not dead
which can eternal lie
and in strange æons
even death may die
and i'll be there...
when the last song is sung
and i'll be there. i'll be there...
when the last curtain falls
and the girl's behind a glass
she looks just like a mermaid
she might even be asleep
it took this long to find the answer, now they're
all a part of me
their love is deeper than the sea.
