Summary: These are the wishes the wishbones turned down


Cool blue electric dreamers
Hell's bells ringing loudly in our ears

These are the dreams we try not to confess
These are the wishes the wishbones turned down
The truths we refuse to speak

Falling

Falling

Falling

Into the depths
Of a boarded-up wishing well
That no one will remember
Overgrown with weeds that lack a name

Going cold from the isolation
Falling dead from the lack of love
Pretending it doesn't matter

Through all of the pretending
Who do we pretend to be
When no one else is looking

Can the mask fall down
Or is it nailed there

Thanks! I wasn't sure where I was going with it, but I think I like how it worked out. :)
