Walking on glass, slippers burrowed into ground
love, pie sweet let poor Cindy down
Stranded on a midnight clear...
no charm was to be found
Carriage wheels broken and still,
hopes and dreams now unreal
deception crystalized on her brow,
but she'll live the fantasy... some how
Like Alice...
Cindy wondered away from home,
running from reality,
never expecting to be alone
In her hands...
pumpkin, sweet lies,
all ingrediants for desert
...and that damn fantasy
like broken sticks,
splinters in a heart that hurt
