lanterns

i feel like rapunzel trapped in her tower

mother gothel’s around here somewhere

i just want to be free

away from all responsibilities

in my perfect world, it's you and i

i'm never one to say what's on my mind

but in those melting pot eyes

i may just break down and cry

i'm searching for lanterns in a dark world

where are the ones that empower others selflessly?

they have to exist, right?

you hid them all selfishly

i'm like snow white, you are my kiss

that awakes me from such horrors

my past life wasn't this kind to me

you erase that version of it easily

if alice in the wonderland was a fever dream

that was how it felt before i met you

i'm so thankful we can experience this

making memories out of tragedy

i'm searching for lanterns in a dark world

where are the ones that empower others selflessly?

they have to exist, right?

you hid them all selfishly

burning bridges to climb over to your love

a match met a candle for dinner tonight

a wilting rose kissed by snow itself

i laced my fingers through your hair

we finally made it there

i'm searching for lanterns in a dark world

where are the ones that empower others selflessly?

they have to exist, right?

you hid them all selfishly

hmm
