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.”
