lyrics

Another day to paint in
Monochrome and aching
Another battle raging
Between realities and dreams
Another mountain to climb
Another shackle to unwind
Another scar beneath the skin
Another hole to fill in

And her imagination
She swallowed deep inside her
Because they told her it was dangerous to dream
And now she cuts it open
Peers inside to breathe it in
She finds herself surrounded
By all the ghosts she’s been

This is not my story
This is not the end
'cause everyone is always happy in the end
Aren't they?
This is not my story
This is not the end
'cause everyone is always happy in the end

Aren't they?

As her defenses fall down
Around her fractured portaits
Her shadowed thoughts become her
Hated demons taunting
Whispering on street corners
"Don’t stop now, keep running"
Blood keeps pounding in her ears
A city blurring in her tears

Her defiance tells her
The biggest lie it ever told her
"I am not afraid
No, I am not afraid"
She's afraid of every
Second she must face alone
Her severed self pleading
From a thousand stars she wished upon

This is not my story
This is not the end
'cause everyone is always happy in the end
Aren't they?

This is not my story
This is not the end
'cause everyone is always happy in the end

I know I meant to be loved...

And this is not my story
This is not my story...

And I don't wanna be alone

This is not my story
This is not my story
Everyone is always happy in the end
Aren't they...?
