Her Name Is Alice

(If I had a world of my own everything would be nonsense

Nothing will be what it is because everything would be what it isn't)



I invite you to a world where there is no such thing as time

And every creature lends themself to change your state of mind

And the girl that chased the rabbit, drank the wine, and took the pill

Has locked herself in limbo to see how it truly feels



To stand outside your virtue

No one can ever hurt you

Or so they say...



Her name is Alice (Alice)

She crawls into the window

Through shapes and shadows

Alice (Alice)

And even though she's dreaming, she knows...



Sometimes the curiosity can kill the soul but leave the pain

And every ounce of innocence is left inside her brain

And through the looking glass we see she's painfully returned

But now "off with her head" I fear is everyone's concern



You see there's no real ending

It's only the beginning

Come out and play...



Her name is Alice (Alice)

She crawls into the window

Through shapes and shadows

Alice (Alice)

And even though she's dreaming

She's unlocked the meaning for you



This kingdom, good riddance

Her freedom and innocence

Has brought this whole thing down



Her name is Alice (Alice)

She crawls into the window

Through shapes and shadows

Alice (Alice)

And even though she's dreaming

She's unlocked the meaning



(Midnight's bright lights,

Marching into the fight.

Drink me, shrink me,

Fill me to sink me.)

x2



She's unlocked the meaning for you



(And contrary wise, what it is, it wouldn't be.

And what it wouldn't be, it would, you see?)
