One moment and the veil is gone
A world appears at dusk and dawn
Goldfinch flying outside the glass
Some things are too bright to last

We're all made of nonsense after all
You were Alice before the fall
Looking back through memory's glass
Chasing things too bright to last
The Queen of Hearts writes every line
Half of yours and half of mine
You are Alice, lost in the dance
Every dream is worth the chance

You lived inside a borrowed life
The dream you hid like a secret knife
The self you kept behind the door
The girl you were afraid to be more

We're all made of nonsense after all
You were Alice before the fall
Looking back through memory's glass
Chasing things too bright to last
The Queen of Hearts writes every line
Half of yours and half of mine
You are Alice, lost in the dance
Every dream is worth the chance

Your soul stayed when you walked away
Holding everything you couldn't say
The life you left, the life you chose
Only you know how the story goes

And so you became
The mistress of nonsense, wild and untamed
