Moons Aligned

1.
I can’t repent I’ve crossed the line, one too many times Stop holding me I wanna break free before I turn to flight But as I stand before the court that happens to be you With your flower in your hair and hazy eyes of blue I’d do anything to get my point across to you That we could be together in result of something new I lie there still I never want to leave I’ve had you in my thoughts this entire time There’s not much left For me to say that would mean anything better than goodbye
2.
Four walls to contain you Two walls to remind you you’re alone Shout and scream, they will watch But not a voice or even sound will be heard Cages have more freedom When you have no voice Left alone by yourself, stuck to your decaying thoughts A beautiful, but tragic sight Touch the wall and see the world you’re not apart of Touch the wall and see yourself standing there Having forgotten what you look like, who you are A glass box surrounds you with the worst thing possible* Your thoughts (Yourself) Something from behind is changing you The way you act and speak, the things you do Life surely has no hope outside The glass walls keep you occupied
3.
In a kingdom far away Lived a queen whose debt need be repaid Through the courtship of a man Lied a dark and devious command Laid out by the queen’s hand When the mistress was away The queen and knight had room to stay This is where she took her place Upset the king and all his men A tribal force to contend Quick hurry now close the gates Before it’s far too late Quick hurry now close the gates This kingdom of shame and sorrow Has brought no fame To my family crest and name But the knight didn’t like his fame The notorious man and queen were slain Hung in the gallows on the square The norietor and kings next heir He felt it pass through air
4.
I know It’s hard to feel this way I’m used to it From all the times I came I don’t remember Putting this down in my life I can’t see the future But I just wish you were here tonight Turn back time And let me know Just where you’ve been Which way to go It’s hard Trying to find out what it's like It’s not easy When you know you hold the knife I can’t recall now The way that you first looked at me I’d love to tell you All the wonderful things I’d see I’d turn in the night when I still can’t sleep And think of all the things we’d be It’s hard not to say what you cannot become But still in my mind I haven’t given up
5.
Fly So High 03:24
I’ll keep you in my prayers You know I’ll always be there Keep fighting No hiding Can’t turn back time We are always here for you There’s still more we can do Keep fighting Still surviving It’s all okay Fly so High So high You’ll always be my best friend It will work out in the end Don’t stop trying, keep fighting It’s all okay Fly so High So high
