Lost and shaken she wanders the woods Hoping to find what her father could Found a home there deep in the trees Magic locked in green canopies The beast won't sleep forever in this stone The beast won't sleep forever all alone She should have known that she just wanted love Too scared to follow the calls above But now I know what I can't see She'll never be who she wants to be The beast won't sleep forever in this stone The beast won't sleep forever all alone There was a tree where she would sing All alone by the crystal spring There he heard her saddest song The only thing to break a stone so strong The beast won't sleep forever in this stone The beast won't sleep forever all alone The beast won't sleep forever all alone

It was many years ago this day and the leaves were turning brown A bitter wind would rush across my face and make a crying sound If only I could find my way back home Not taking my path where it bends And I can't find my way back home Telling my story where it ends And living November again There will be snow this year I know and he'll come before I wake When this new winter chills my toes and fills my heart with ache If only I could find my way back home Not taking my path where it bends And I can't find my way back home Telling my story where it ends And living November again

13 O'Clock 04:16
There you were covered in lace Tears still wet upon your face and bleeding heart All they know is what they see Monsters walking in the street and cries in the dark I'll say I'm done before they come I'll say I'm done and you have won Took you up into my arms As the sounded the alarm into the street To the river I will run And lay you there before the sun breaks through the trees I'll say I'm done before they come I'll say I'm done and you have won Long before you came to me I knew what I had to be And what needed to be done Always brave when you're around But almost always breaking down To nothing and no one Close my eyes and see his face Takes me far off from this place and shaking bones Water fills into my eyes And I hear your broken cry as I go home I'll say I'm done before they come I'll say I'm done and you have won

Blink 03:27
He is a man who has plans with the rain She's just a girl who will never be safe Still waiting here, waiting here all night She sent a letter to him and it said It won't be long till I'm finally dead And leaving here, leaving here this time Gone from this life before you blink She called to him you can't come back to me Cause I am the one who will always be free Not waiting here, waiting here tonight Was there a whisper was there any pain Was there a way to have plans with the rain And stay right here, stay right here this time Gone from this life before you blink
