[Storyteller.]

Once upon a year gone by
she saw herself give in;
every time she closed her eyes,
she saw what could have been.
Well nothing hurts and nothing bleeds
when covers tucked in tight;
funny when the bottom drops
how she forgets to fight, to fight.

And it's one more day in paradise,
one more day in paradise.

As darkness quickly steals the light
that shined within her eyes,
she slowly swallows all her fear
and soothes her mind with lies.
Well all she wants and all she needs
are reasons to survive,
a day in which the sun will take
her artificial light, her light.
