Stars and Shadows (For Maria)

See? Told you I would get around to it! This is the song that was written around my star that my Young Womens leader wanted to read so badly...

Stars and Shadows
I love the smell of your window pane
At two AM in the morning
Write down your life
Make sure you remember everything I've said
Watch as I hang the moon
In the day sky
Fall back as I shout
Out my name

In this land of
Broken, fallen, storybook fairytales
The books are missing their endings
Manipulate your life into words
That will fit
These pre-designed meanings

Stare as they fabricate
Their own helpless happiness
Feel as the roses turn white
Don't forget, forever remember
They'll find the star that you taught
And bleep out the name
With this all I have two lines to go
Sorry to scare you to death

In this land of
Broken, fallen, storybook fairytales
The books are missing their endings
Manipulate your life into words
That will fit
These pre-designed meanings

Castles that tell
Of their morbid romances
And of the evil breathing their fire
Loose it all
On my woven lies
The checker board pieces are moving
Remain in your seat, it's not over yet
This isn't even the beginning

In this land of
Broken, fallen, storybook fairytales
The books are missing their endings
Manipulate your life into words
That will fit
These pre-designed meanings

The world floats
On dark lit clouds
The edges are crumbling and falling
Watch where you step
It may be your last
Turn to the next page
And read
Read

In this land of
Broken, fallen, storybook fairytales
The books are missing their endings
Manipulate your life into words
That will fit
These pre-designed meanings




Well there you go, that's the whole thing. Hope you liked it. -_-

  3. Berit...

    thanks for posting this for me. I love it. Where do you get your inspiration? And when are you going to make a CD of all these songs?? My favorite line...besides the smell of the window pane at 2am in the morning is in the chorus... "Broken, fallen, storybook fairytales
    The books are missing their endings". Very poetic, very creative. Thanks!
