I Need a Place For My Head.



I watch how the

Moon sits in the sky in the dark night

Shining with the light from the sun

The sun doesn't give life to the moon to assuming

The moon's going to owe it one

It is so dark out here. It does make one think of what you did for me. I admit, I was a spoiled brat, but you're not much better. How good a king are you anyway? Your Labyrinth is a mess, and so is your castle. You are a bully. I bet having me in your Labyrinth gave you a real kicks.

It makes me think of how you act to me you do

Favours and then rapidly you just

Turn around and start asking me about

Things you want back from me

You said you'd done it all for me. But if you had you wouldn't have asked for so much. 'Love me.' How do I know love? I've never been in love. 'Fear me.' That one is easy, I'd be afraid of you beating on me if I displeased your majestic wrath.

I'm sick of the tension sick of the hunger

Sick of you acting like I owe you this

Find another place to feed your greed

While I find a place to rest

You completely destroyed my little sanctuary of sanity I'd created myself, whilst acting it out in the park. 'If you know peoples dreams you can control them.' Is that what this is about?



I want to be in another place

It's paths twist and turn. They aren't straight, nor straight forward. They wind and deceive, twist and turn till back is forward and left is up. It is difficult to navigate, but it can be done, with help. Like my heart.

I hate when you say you don't understand

When asked if you understood you didn't answer. "I have to save Toby!" don't you understand? Your Labyrinth is an extension of you, nothing else. Who could hope to claim it?

(You'll see it's not meant to be)

How could I, at fifteen know what I wanted to do with the rest of my life? How could I know more than you look so fine? I don't even know /you/. You're a mystery, a sexy mystery but could I have a life with you? Could you stand to watch my mortal flesh age and wither while you stay in your eternal childishness?

I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy

I want. I want to be with you. We could make a go of it, see if we are meant to be, instead of stepping and dancing around each other's pain, our tears that have frozen with time.

A place for my head

I used to have such a great place for my head. It had life and meaning, love and romance. Sunsets and dragons, knights and fair princes, and the bady was bad, and could not possibly be pitied and loved.



Maybe someday I'll be just like you and

Step on people like you do and run

Away the people I thought I knew

I bet you feel so powerful with your whip saying "Yes, the Bog!" in that tone of voice. Do you like your voice? It is ever occur to you that it could be as much of a turn off as turn on? Would you chuck me in the Bog if you tired of me? I know I would, if I had the power.

I remember back then who you were

You used to be calm used to be strong

Used to be generous but you should've known that you'd

Wear out your welcome

Generous, you reckoned you where generous. A repeated question to be answered: how long would it have lasted? Again, are you just playing, with a long string of girls and boys, or is it just I that you want?

now you see

How quiet it is all alone

Should that be how quiet I'm finding it? I never knew what it was to miss. Everything is tame now. How can I get excited about mundane things when I know there's something so much more exciting and real out there, below ground?

I'm so

Sick of the tension sick of the hunger

Sick of you acting like I owe you this

Find another place to feed your greed

While I find a place to rest I'm so

Sick of the tension sick of the hunger

Sick of you acting like I owe you this

Find another place to feed your greed

While I find a place to rest

You leave so much /feeling/ behind when you spy on me with your crystal balls. I like the sock theory, and the crystal balls are to compensate for what you lack. 'Did everything for me.' Isn't that sweet of you to say so, but there's no such thing as a free lunch.

I want to be in another place

I hate when you say you don't understand

(You'll see it's not meant to be)

I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy

A place for my head

As I said before, I used to have this wonderful place in my head to play, and I was only bothered when I had to come out of my place and baby-sit, do school work and all other unfantastical jobs.

You try to take the best of me

Go away

Who would be the slave?

You try to take the best of me

Go away

What do you take me for? Obviously not a lot if you thought I'd just let you harm what I love.

You try to take the best of me

Go away

You wanted my love, or so you said. You twist words like the Labyrinth twists paths. King of the Goblins. King of the Labyrinth. King of all Charm. That wasn't in the book.



You try to take the best of me

I'm just a dreamer, if you take my dreams and put them in a glass cage what is left of me?

Go away

Leave Toby please.

|I want to be in another place | |I hate when you say you don't understand | |(You'll see it's not meant to be) | |I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy | |A place for my head |

If I were to be with you, I wouldn't want an eternal enemy to fight a daily battle throughout the endless time of Fae.

Shut up

Yeah, shut up and listen to what I really want, what I really dream.
