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
