The sweet honey
spilling out of the smashed bottle
slowly spreads out on my toes.
As this unfamiliar map melts down,
I begin sketching my own map.
Something is awakening.
While hiding a knife at my bosom,
wearing poisonous lip gloss,
and covering myself with sweet-smelling flowers,
I wish to change into a new person from today on.
I'll bid my tepid past farewell with a gun.
I wish to escape out of this world of mirrors
Take me higher
Take me to heaven
I don't care if I cannot return,
for I merely wish to see the unknown outside world.
Shattering the chains on my doorknob,
I dash out into the magenta morning.
As if to pierce a glossy apple
with a fork,
I throw a dart at the globe model.
With a whispering voice,
I ask my heels to please take me to some place faraway
without any particular destination in mind.
Shredding the dress of darkness,
wearing hair ornaments that double up as weapons,
I want to assume the persona of a one-night butterfly
and choose my tomorrow
boldly and to my own liking.
I wonder what that rainbow would taste like.
Tell me something
Tell me all the things
Please tell me, Candy drops,
just for what kind of love is that bird chirping?
It flies off towards the other side of the barbed wire
into the magenta sky.
Never ever give up
Never stop me
I've started running. Oh my mind
Never ever give up
Never stop me
I've started moving. Oh my life
I am me.
I won't give myself up to anyone.
I wish to escape out of this world of mirrors
Take me higher
Take me to heaven
I don't care if I cannot return,
for I merely wish to see the unknown outside world.
Shatter the chains on that doorknob,
and please, don't stop.
I wonder what that rainbow would taste like.
Tell me something
Tell me all the things
Please tell me, Candy drops,
just for what kind of love is that bird chirping?
Even farther, and even higher,
it will flap its wings and fly into a brand new sky,
into the radiant magenta morning.
