[Hook] When you take the high road to your cloud fortress Humans look so small and formless They talk and talk it without a thing to say Don't you think so Alice, they should sport a mouth corset (x2)
[Verse 1] Pale shadows decorating her face Ways narrow, she hates it, wants to make an escape Take away and then fade quick So afraid it's got her open veined, broken, drained and plain sick
Alice sails to a special place made just for her And away from the daily grey clouds, dust and dirt This is her real home, where she won't feel alone Surrounded by sunflowers in a sea of gold
She don't believe in souls but this must be afterlife Wonders if her funeral was sad and if the casket's nice She didn't even say the last goodbyes (Oh well) Hopes that her death wasn't somewhere lame like in traffic lights
In the embrace of the dark blue night sky She maintains almost a cartoon-like smile It's over now, she thinks, now I can finally rest Suddenly a faint voice is calling her inside her head
[Hook]
[Verse 2] She woke up in a hospital bed The doctor had said it costed her an arm and a leg As long as she bled, it was a miracle she was alive today A razor sharp kitchen knife to a vital vein
But she hadn't honestly wanted to see the light of day Her parents bitching about the bills again, time ain't change At each other's necks again, mom's an evil skunk And dad's a loser who burns his time on all his reefer blunts
Her stupid brother ain't much help either He only goes to parties and starts shit drinking like 12 liters Mr. Reaper, I been leaving suicide notes at your home It's wack you don't answer though, I'll have you know
I'm serious, you don't think I am? Man, she furious No Alice ain't mean spirited just sick of it Her heart is a jammed gat and you triggered it Or is ít? Shit, does she even know herself? Hell, maybe she needs to figure it
