Why did someone lie to me
And tell me faery bedtime lullibies
That sooth the mind and ease the soul
Convince the future to resolute
in happy times and a kiss goodnight
Why did someone lie to me
“This black inside your chest will dissolve
leaving a heroine’s heart beating out the tune
of the heavens instilled in her steps”
Why did someone lie to me
“Oh dear, you’re going through a stage.”
Once you’ve grown up you’ll have love
and never doubt that he will never deserve you.
Why can’t someone just lie to me
To tell me that it’s all ok
And that someday, on this rust colored dust
that stirs like my faded fears,
I will stand my ground, see a worried crowd
And coo them, myself, to sleep
That day I will sing my own lullibies
Whispers of faery stories come true
Someday I too will lie.
