I dreamt of Anastasia
The forgotten princess
She was an unnamed beauty
All alone she's against the world
Stuck on a journey through the past
Filled with strange men and unknown places
I was taught that big girls don't cry
Does this mean I'm grown?
Why can't I stay a child
Tell me, what's the harm in that?
I used to fill the oceans
Now all I want is to flood the land
I can't stay this strong forever
Yet the lights are up, my stage is set
Why must I remain so fearless?
When I can feel my mask is already crumbling
Stripped of my innocence too early
I've been pushed under the surface
Longing to be held
Still struggling to breathe
Tell me I'm worthy
I'm begging, please pull me off this ledge
Only sinking deeper
Becoming numb, dark, and cold
Where is the love I've been searching for?
The hammer claims it's damned in the arms of other women
My bell jars' now shattered
I'm being crushed beneath its weight
The light says my heart must keep beating
To always swear against deals with the devil
But that's my secret
I dance the edge way too close for someone not tempted
Tongues have been whispering
Like thunder in a storm
My loyalties are spent
My heart is in pieces; buried deep into the dirt
Black tar and feathers are what I've been given to wear
All eyes are now averted
I wake to find myself mirroring Medusa
I'm all alone surround by the memories I chose to set in stone
I guess I've got my wish now
But who will be the one that comes to claim my head
