Midnight Train
CHORUS:
She took a midnight train
to try and get away
From everything around her
closing in
She passed a field of daisies
bright yellow daisies
but did not see them
shrouded by the night
She looked at the seat beside her
empty as the world around her
She shed a tear
as realization hit
The world was not a storybook
There were murderers and there were crooks
Sometimes life didn’t feel worthwhile
The storybooks she used to read
when she was five, maybe three
were a lie
You never had a prince charming
to save you from your situation
Just wolves dressed up as lambs
Who will hurt you
and lie to you
and make you think they’ll be nice to you
But then they’re not
CHORUS
She sat there until the morning light
It warmed her face
and broke her darkest night
She took a breath and everything seemed easier
She stood up and took a step
Raised her chin and looked less upset
The sun that shone on her childhood
was back again
CHORUS
