Everything black can wash away
All these broken pieces left unglued
And as trapped as we are
Doors of many, as of few
Leading inside out, around and through
Turning oceans to shallows
Never close your eyes
We're fading in

This story's missing a wishing well
No mirror to show and tell
No kiss that can break the spell

We kill the lights and put on a show
It's all a lie, but you'd never know
The star will shine, and then it will fall
And you will forget it all

And after midnight we're all the same
No glass shoe to bring us fame
Nobody to take the blame
We're fading out
Every story's a waiting game
A hunch for every name
Those colors part of the Dark

It's the world we know
The exceptions we make
Will never be shown

To the rest of the world
I just trade a dream for a way.
For a moment, we freeze but
If ever there's a full moon breaking
It's painting our faces
We won't know
Which way
The sky will turn

Now you know, it's so much better to pretend
There's something waiting for you here
Every hunch has found its way to me, my dear
You can make believe that what you say is what I want to hear
