Memories of the Hatter

You whispered soft and spoke to me
The perfect words came out in hunted truth
With open eyes I came to see
I didn’t need, I didn’t need it all along

(So tell me what did she say)
She spoke of nothing
Spoke of everything
All that I wanted
(What did it take away)
It came to me
Delivering
This conscious mind through suffering

At night I’d wake to twisted scenes
(Put down your head, just close your eyes, you know it’s nothing)
These vivid images of past or things to be
Sleep not, my thoughts unsettling
(Don’t worry now, it’s nothing much, think in the morning)
It’s not a place, not a place where I belong

(It’s driving me so crazy)
It’s not the truth
Not a single word
Of past or present
(I feel so betrayed)
It ravaged me
Exposing dreams
Holding defeats all eyes could see
All eyes could see

The words she spoke
All fucking lies
About a father, son, and tears they’ve cried
Of cursed gifts
Of false illness
The tragedies were her sickness
She took away
A simple youth
A mother loving like all should do
She made me fly
Made me die
And I’ve never felt anymore alive
