Set Apart this Dream
You build your castles in the skies
Stars reflecting off your eyes
(Set Apart this Dream Flyleaf)
She's always been
A little (different) from the rest of the world
A beautiful d i s a s t e r with a separate dream
Where only she rules: a princess in the sky
.
And she dresses in smiles and starryeyes
Her head begging for the clouds far from earth
Where disaster can't reach
Where she's safe from \c/r\a/s\h/i\n/g\
.
She lives |apart| from her family
Trying not to see her Daddy dieing
Her mother t-e-a-r-i-n-g them apart
Her brother and sister falling deeper and deeper
.
In her world the shouts can't reach her door
She can't be forced into anything
She's innocentandsweet
A broken china doll
.
Reality though is Reality
And her dreams are only dreams
When sick and desolate, she's left alone
Even dreams can't hide all the p.a.i.n
.
So she saves her world and tries to l i v e
Pretending everything is PERFECT
There is no shouting or screaming or crying
Her home is whole
.
But she almost slips up
When shouting gets so loud
And Daddy finds her mother cheating
Again and again and again
.
And Dominique sometimes fears
That her Daddy will one day have e n o u g h
And escape from his hell his own way
A way where he can neverreturn
.
All she can do is brace herself
Squeeze Weasley blue eyes tightlyshut
Close off the sparklesandsmiles
Numb herself and wait for the blows
.
This is when her dreams come back
They pressagainsthersanity
Begging her to fall captive
To escape to MaDnEsS where everything is okay
.
And the day she looses herself
Is the day it all [falls apart]
Screams push her overtheedge
Blow after verbal blow keep her there
.
And reality e s c a p e s as madness arrives
Wrapping her in silver clouds and angel songs
Her dream is the only thing left
And she greatfuly s-l-i-p-s into the soft light
.
And like a shootingstar
She's sparkling sparkling
Fading fading
gone
