lyrics

Girl walks down a corridor,
Fourteen years, seven-tenths of her reality,
Battered glass like wishing wells,
Her book open to page 17.

She says to him she's petrified,
She offers him the key,
Her flag is torn and frayed,
She questions his disease.

Colors cured by her perception,
East and west usurped by a greater need,
The land that is hers is barren and dry,
He watches from his tower, sips a glass of lemonade.

And as the rain falls upon her,
It mingles with her tears.
Her life, like a book, is yet unfinished,
Blank pages, 14 years.

She says to him she's petrified,
And offers him the key.
Her flag lies broken on the ground.
She questions his disease.

We suffer the consequence
Two-fifths of the sum.

We suffer the consequence
Two-fifths of the sum.
You go for the gun.

21, you're my love.
Give me another chance.
