View Full Version : Papier Mache Escape

With ruby red scissors, she cuts
Yesterdays news, with dried out,
Glue, her papier maché escape
Trivia headlines, now's the deadline
To spread your newspaper cut-out wings
Fly those crimson skies

Not too close to the sun, but far away
From the mistakes of yesterday
Let the wind sweep you away
To your new tomorrow today

Don't fall for they will catch you
But only with talons and claws
That pierce so fierce
Your heart of precious hope
Turns to smoke
Across those crimson skies

For you are yesterday's
news, abused, misused
You are yesterday's
News, confused, so bruised

But from all that remains
Make the second-hand wings
Fix the shattered glass heart
Though they both feel so heavy-
Raise your delicate voice,
For war cries set fire, to crimson skies

Watch the sun declare a day
Twenty-four lifetimes from yesterday
As it casts it light upon your face
Welcome to your new today
