pandora

one-button-eyed teddy halted her 

fuzzy pink bunny caused a stir 

raggedy ann parted from rag-andy 

cornered her and tried to offer candy 

really, we all have tried our best 

the retired fool even tried to, well, jest 

united, we fought and sent SOS through the static 

each and every one of us, broken toys in the attic 

even the sandman with a hole on his bag 

used up his very last drop, that poor ol' rag 

we're sorry, but there is nothing we can do 

for we have stalled while she was waiting for you 

poor girl, she thought it was the pirate's chest 

filled with treasures, pretty dresses and zest 

but now the demon has come back to claim 

a part of her that you can never, ever, tame

riddle me we

here's the next part
of the lovely maze we are
you go this way and i go that
and never mistake it for goodbye

tracing walls with our left hands
you with the stars, and i the breadcrumbs
two lost children
how can we know for sure?

the sun set and shadows gone
and fireflies playing hide and seek
(some shimmery undecipherable language we see)
yet your heartbeat's clapping with mine

a wonderful confusion we be
here to get lost to get found
barefooted and bare hearted
we finally meet at where we part
