Once upon a time Slaves broke the chains Dropped in the sea They formed the Caribbean
Once upon a time Poe made ink stains They turned into fear They turned into tears of us
Ghosts over my head Forming a cloud Take both of us Throughout their oblivion
Look under my dress And find way out For all of your stress For all of your prejudices
Once upon a time I locked the door For your despise That softle destroys my bones
But there are a lot of things I can't ignore Can't carry your love It's heavier than a stone
Just this time I'll be alone Just this time You'll be alone Just this time We'll be alone All night long
Once upon a time Slaves broke the chains Dropped in the sea They formed the Caribbean Once upon a time Poe made ink stains They turned into fear They turned into tears of us
Once upon a time I locked the door For your despise That softle destroys my bones But there are a lot of things I can't ignore Can't carry your love It's heavier than a stone
