They Are There To Remind Us

(Queen of Moulin Rouge II)

the last sunbeam faded
I found her again in my town
immersed in her own world
surrounded by a crowd
I realized a great change had occurred
on the canvas right before her
colours and shapes were distorted
Alice dancing with Mad Hatter
on both sides of the rainbow
the world we live in is not the only one
that's what she said
now I understand
it controls her mind
the lack of self and thoughts
reality she cannot grasp, another hit another shot
what goes up must go down, why is she still so high
I've made up my mind and now it's too late to turn back
I tried to follow in her footsteps
aware that I'm treading on quicksand
caught off balance wirewalkers
struggling to get out alive
the world we live in is not the only one
that's what she said
now I understand
I heard you I felt the shape of you
I could touch you but only inside my heart again
so I'm turning back
