Ready

I'm still not ready to burst my little bubble

And bleed my happiness into this twisted place.

Although I almost hear the popping sound it makes

And can see this dreamy fog and how it dissipates.

I'm not yet willing to forgo the magic

Or tell the world of what has happened here...

Can you hold on to me a moment longer

So I can live inside this little fantasy?

I don't quite want to close my eyes tonight

Knowing the sun will wipe it all away,

Please make it last at least another hour

Or better yet just hit rewind for me.

I'm not too eager to return to start

And roam the hallways like an empty ghost,

I don't like looking for another armor

Or patch the thousand holes in this rusty soul.

I'm not quite ready to walk the other way,

And forgo the safety of the walls you built...

Can you hold on to me a moment longer please

And let me hide behind you, and find my missing piece?

Don't make me have to go and fight my battles yet,

With cuts along my neck and my armor bent...

Please let me hold you, please, you're just so steady

But despite the "when", I don't think I'll be ready.
