Alice




Alice

There is a bit of malice in Alice these days

It seems like drama is trauma

Life is an open comma

And everyone is running away

Down in a rabbit hole swallowed a hollowed sword

Gave a priest a promise and watched him go back on his word

Cannot undo damages done despite all the wars won

Victory is tomorrow, losers feel the sorrow

And everyone is running away

To the open sky ‘til the angels in the clouds cry out

“There is no one left to save.”
