Innocent
I've been innocent since forever
But forever never came
So I've been lying in this bed awake
While my dreams chase after me
They've been calling out my name
As I look back at their stitched mouths
And no one came to same me from the horror
And I couldn't save myself from the lies
So while the monsters tore through memories,
The fairies enchanted nightmares
I sat upon my throne
Hidden on a cloud, of lies
So please, just cut out my tongue
So I can laugh all day
Remove my lungs so I can breathe
Because even with these eyeballs,
I've never been able to see
I can paint such a pretty picture
But I've never seen the brush
Even my brand new toys
Are slowly beginning to rust
After winter, spring never came
The green died before the flowers could bloom
And the birds never sand their song
So hidden in the shadows
Is the brightest star ever seen
But no one can retrieve it
Because that star is me
And since I've been innocent
For forever and a day
The broken cannot touch me
The liars cannot hear me
The greedy cannot see me
The gluttons cannot smell me
The weak cannot taste me
So here I wait
For someone as innocent as I
To retrieve their fallen star
And place me back within the sky
So I, I can shine
And light up the night
Bring peace to those who see me
And light up this barren land
Fill it with the innocent
Hope that surrounds me
