she's fallen in love with northern lights, but dreams of southern skies.

tell me how it feels to have everything in front of you, wrapped in strings of gold and promise. now close your eyes and make a wish, your eyelashes are falling as you weep with appreciation. yeah, you've got everything, princess. the second you dream it, daddy's on the case. by the time the sun sets, it'll have your name on it; wrapped in strings of gold and promise.

but easy now, princess. this world has no capacity for something resting on top for too long. didn't anyone tell you? nothing lasts forever.

so tell me how it feels to watch it all set to flame and not feel a thing. it's melting in heaps of black and yesterday. close your eyes and make a wish, 11:11 is met with the sound of sirens. you'll wish you ran away, won't you? you'll wish you were running away from yourself and that no one could ever find you. you've got nothing now, princess. the second you dream it, daddy's patting your head and whispering condolences. by the time the sun sets, your name will be nothing but a rumor of how things get shot to hell; melted in heaps of black and yesterday.


easy now, princess. don't look too sad. silver linings come in the ugliest of packages.
no offense, but you're looking pretty ugly right now.
