Falling Out With Wonderland

Childlike eyes do fade with time
I got so boring and I don't know how the spark
Inside my heart got eaten by the dark
By the dark

Coffins full of cloud-framed dreams
I couldn't measure up to greater things
I tried so hard but it didn't really get me very far
I tried so hard

Alice. Oh, Alice. Oh.
Where did all your Wonder go?
Alice. Oh, Alice.
Please just give me one more smile?

Alice. Oh, Alice. Oh.
Where did all your Wonder go?
Please, Alice. Dear, Alice.
Can't you please just give me one more smile?

There were risks I could not take
I ran to what I thought was an escape
But now I'm lost inside a world of lies and eyes and claws
Eyes and claws

In my mind's eye I can see
My inner child sleeping dreamlessly
What is that like?
A naive peace that fills the soul and warms the night
What is that like?

Alice. Oh, Alice. Oh.
Where did all your Wonder go?
Alice. Oh, Alice.
Please just give me one more smile?

Alice. Oh, Alice. Oh.
Where did all your Wonder go?
Please, Alice. Dear, Alice.
Can't you please just give me one more smile?

Oh child in me, awake to brighter things
Can't you see there is a new sun rising?
Letting go of all regrets of all my yesterdays
Today I embrace the dawn

Alice. Oh, Alice. Oh.
Where did all your Wonder go?
Alice. Oh, Alice.
Please just give me one more smile?

Alice. Oh, Alice. Oh.
Where did all your Wonder go?
Please, Alice. Dear, Alice.
Can't you please just give me one more smile?
