Reality Escapes Her...

Because I live somewhere between fantasy and reality, so I created this set.

Reality escapes her...

So she often disappears.

Attempting to run away from--

Everything she fears.

Reality escapes her...

So she lives in her dreams.

Where she runs from her nightmares--

And hides all her screams.

Reality escapes her...

So she's often alone.

Running to another place--

In a different time zone.

Reality escapes her...

So she hides in a fantasy.

Dreaming of a different place--

And who she wants to be.

Keep Your Composure

Because I was really upset one day and someone close to me told me to "Always keep your composure", so I created this set.

Wipe your tears--

Keep your composure.

Don't show weakness--

Indecent exposure.

Harden your heart---

Your weakness is kindness.

Strengthen your soul--

This world will leave you heartless.

Keep your composure--

Don't let them get you down.

Put a fake smile on--

Don't let them see you frown.

Keep your composure--

Don't let them see you cry.

We live in a cruel world--

Remember an eye for an eye?

So, please protect your heart--

On every occasion.

I've lost my heart--

Way too many abrasions.

Fragile Heart

Because I've been wanting to create a set with a broken heart inside of a shattered clear box for a while, so I created this set.

My heart is so fragile,

That I leave it protected.

Until I find someone--

That won't leave it neglected.

My heart is so delicate--

So, I keep it safe with me.

And only if you're worthy,

Will I set it free.

Don't Confine Me

Because I'm a free spirit and I don't like to feel confined or forced into unpleasant situations, so I created this set.

I'm a free spirit--

So, don't confine me.

I don't wear any chains--

So, nothing can bind me!

And Then the Walls Caved In

Because I was having a bad day and I felt like the walls were caving in, so I created this set.

I thought I was free--

Everything seemed fine.

Until the walls caved in,

On this perfect world of mines.

Heavy Is The Head (The Crown Bares a Price)

Because there's a lot of pressure in being a leader and/or ruler, so I created this set.

Heavy is the head--

That wears the crown.

Because she is forced to fake smiles--

So, no one ever sees her frown.

Heavy is the head--

That wears the crown.

For the kingdom looks up to her--

And she can't bare to let them down.

Finding Light In Darkness

Because there's light in darkness, so I created this set.

Darkness is not always darkness,
Sometimes it is light.
You're not always happy at day--
Nor are you always sad at night.

Let The Glass Break

Because I was in another heartbroken and sad kind of mood, so I created this set.

Let the glass break--

Shatter and all.

I mean, who cares?

Once you fall.

Let the glass break--

Watch it scatter in pieces.

I try to stop the pain--

But it never ceases.

Let the glass break--

Who really cares?

I look around--

And there's no one there.

Let the glass break--

Shatter and all.

And watch them all stare--

As I stumble and fall.

Cut Out My Heart

Because I was in a heartbroken and sad kind of mood, so I created this set.

Cut out my heart and just bleed me dry.

I'm sick of the pain if you want to know why.

Cut out my heart and just let it bleed.

Maybe after that I can start to breathe.

Cut out my heart and bury it in the ground.

'Cause after it's out, I don't want it to be found.

You Were Beautiful

Because I was in a heartbroken kind of mood, so I created this set.

I thought you were beautiful,

And that you cared...

I thought you were beautiful,

Until you left me there...

I thought you were beautiful--

Until you broke my heart.

I thought you were beautiful--

And now we're world's apart.

So who will pick up the pieces--

Of my broken heart?

So who will pull me back together--

Now that I've fallen apart?

It's All Left Broken

Because it's hard to fix a broken heart, so I created this set.

A broken heart,

A broken mirror,

Trying to fix it?

Leave it broken.

Pick up the pieces?

Or leave them scattered?

Put myself back together?

Or does it matter?

Try again?

Maybe tomorrow?

Maybe then,

I'll lose my sorrow.

Heart of Exhaustion

Because hearing about other people's sadness takes a toll on my heart sometimes, so I created this set.

It breaks my heart to see people in pain,

So much that sometimes it drives me insane.

My heart it breaks, often so,

That I tend to breakdown, it's so hard to let go.

It's hard to carry all of this sadness.

My kindness, my weakness, the root of my madness.

I try to go out, get some fresh air to breathe.

I've heard some stories, you wouldn't believe.

All of the sadness, it makes me so weak.

Often sometimes, that I can't even speak.

Fragile

Because I feel so fragile sometimes, so I created this set.

Don't hurt me 'cause I'm fragile,

Is that too much to ask?

Don't hurt me I might shatter,

Just like a piece of glass.
