Take me away to your fairy-tale garden
I’ll wear my cape wrapped right around my neck
We’re both our own escapes, the childhood remains
The naivety to still believe
That we won’t bend
We won’t break
We won’t burn
For our mistakes.
Show me your way, your passage to freedom
From prying eyes that take away my breath
These walls wont keep us safe, our secret’s in the air
No need to hide yet we conspire
To keep us sane
To keep us safe
To hide the world
From our mistake.
Why should we change, content beyond reason
We’re in-between, no need to be misled
Their words won’t even dent, the castle we sleep in
Free to reign, no noose around our neck
‘Cos we won’t bend
We won’t break
We’re riding free
From their mistake.
