With every grain that falls in the hourglass

I feel your love slipping from my grasp

I have to see your life as if I’m with the silly cat, hiding in the trees

Or imagine I’m peering in a snow globe, where I can see you but you can’t see me

Technicalities say we’re done, although indestructible friends is true

But in my heart it will never be over, & no amount of denial will ever make another you

I feel alone in my thoughts, inside the downward spiral I can’t grasp

In order for Alice to end the madness, and make my mind stop its gasp,

I couldn’t imagine that you’d be happier with me

So I made the decision to set you free

I love you enough to let you go

I’ll never be as perfect as you see me you know

There are and will be days where the pain is too much

Even in the smallest of hugs, there is safety in your touch

The roses in Wonderland get painted red when left white

But rarely are the days when the red roses enter our sight

Our hearts were both massacred, with more than one knife

And our united tears shed, were all that saved our life

At the time, there was no where to turn

Alone in hell, left there to burn

The mad hatter in his twisted wisdom, sent us our path

Our souls bound, only to have to deal with his evil aftermath

In the winding tunnel of colors, where confusion continues to spin

No matter how treacherous the road, I can grab your hand to begin

Begin even in the shrapnel, in shattered lives to still hold onto you

I will remember in my mind that I have you, if it’s the last thing in Wonderland I ever do

We have played on slides in this ugly little game

Back and forth in chains of nothing but shame

Yes you can have this, but no you cannot have that

Oops I didn’t mean to hand you that; don’t cry because you can’t have it back

That’s the sinister voice that I hear in my head

Every night the torment hits, it’s what I play in my head

You’re on a giant pedestal within my mind

And no other human will I want to protect in silence more or ever find

You know what your true wonderland girl looks like now, remember you do

You are awaiting to meet her soon, and I can never take that from you

We may not have what we were deceived into believing

But oddly even stronger, a love and depth is our never-ending.

In irony maybe we have, to think of the power this holds

Never have I encountered anything so daring or bold

There may never be a rescuing angel, and sadness may always cloud the day

But evil tea parties like those, will never again keep our love at bay
