The missing song from The Other Side Of The Mirror.

[iamnotafraid]

it's 4 in the afternoon
I'm on a flight leaving LA
trying to figure out my life
and my youth
scatterered along the highway
hotel rooms and headlights
I've made a living with a song
guitar as my companion
wanting desperately to belong
fame is filled with spoiled children
we grow fat on fantasy
and I guess that's why I'm leaving
I crave reality

So goodbye Alice in Wonderland
goodbye yellow brick road
there is a difference
between dreaming and pretending
I did not find paradise
it was only a reflection
of my lonely mind wanting
what's been missing in my life

I'm embarrassed to say
the rest in rock 'n roll cliche
I hit the bottom
when I reached the top
but I never knew it was you
who was breaking my heart
I thought you had to love me
but you did not
yes a heart can hallucinate
if it's completely starved for love
it can even turn monsters
into angels from above
you forged my love just like a weapon
you turned it against me like a knife
you broke my last heart string
but you opened my eyes

So goodbye Alice in Wonderland
goodbye yellow brick road
there is a difference
between dreaming and pretending
that was not love in your eyes
it was only a reflection of my lonely mind searching
for what's been missing in my life
