ETA: I adore diantha_malfoy and foxglove_icons. That is all.

To Come And Set Me Free- it’s pretty old, but I still like it. It is also an example of the most blatant personal denial you may ever be fated to set eyes on.
I don’t wanna be no Cinderella
Sitting in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody
To come and set me free

‘Cause Cindy’s pretty but she’s so slight
That princess will never learn to fight
So she’s gotta have somebody
To come and set her free

I don’t wanna be no beauty waiting
I can do my own dragon slaying
I don’t need nobody
To come and set me free

I don’t wanna be some pretty princess
With a prince on hand and a flowing dress
‘Cause I don’t want somebody
To come and set me free

I ain’t gonna depend on someone else
I know what to do, I’ll rescue myself
I don’t have to have nobody
To come and set me free

Cinderella, Snow White, Aurora, Belle,
They might be pretty but they’re fragile as shells,
None of them have ever known how to play hell,
So I guess I’ll stick with Mulan and Tinkerbell
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ‘cause:

I don’t wanna have no-one to take care
I might be a girl but I don’t fight fair
I’ll be the somebody
Who comes to set me free
I ain’t gonna be the new Snow White
I don’t need someone to help me sleep at night
Because my knight in armour
On a pure white charger
Is me
And that’s the way it has to be


Lost In Space- not so old as Cinderella, but a good few months old. A classic example of why you should never write songs and/or poetry while listening to rock music: it may come out well, but it will never be happy.
Dying silently inside
Dying late into the night
I’m sobbing invisible tears
I’m screaming but no-one hears

Because you were and then you weren’t
You put your arms around me
But then you left me, lost me somewhere:

I’m lost in space
I can’t breathe and I can’t scream
Without a trace
I can’t think so I can’t leave
I know this place
Black infinity deep inside my dream

So hopeless
So helpless
There is nothing I can do
I’m slumping
Then flying
Lost in hopeless dreams of you

Flying screaming through the night
Flying, dreaming deep inside
Invincible without my fears
In my dreams the pain can’t sear

Because there I see you, you always are
There your arms are still around me
And you never leave me, I’m lost in my dreams there:

I’m lost in space
I can’t breathe and I can’t scream
Without a trace
I’ve forgotten how to leave
I know this place:
My only refuge, deep inside my dream

Such sweetness
Such lightness
There is nothing I can do
I’m crying
Then flying
Lost in dreams that won’t come true

Lying wide-eyed late into the night
Your face alone in my sight
I’m laughing in my nightmares
I’m lost in a dream that scares

I need to see you, please where have you gone?
I need your arms around me, desperately
Why have you left me, lost my dreams there:

I’m lost in space
I can’t breathe and I can’t scream
Without a trace
I’ll fade away, no I don’t want to leave
I know this place
Want to stay here always, cocooned by my dream

So out of control
Such a lost soul
I don’t want a rescue
No more crying
Just flying
And still there’s nothing I can do:

I’m lost in space
I can’t breathe and I can’t scream
Without a trace
I’ve forgotten how to leave
I know this place:
My only refuge, deep inside my dream

You never come, I’m undone:

Lost in space
Screaming and screaming,
Never seeming to find my place
Shifting and drifting
On into the void
Forever and ever, forever and ever now
Your love’s a never, I’ll love you forever anyhow
‘Cause I’m still lost…
Lost in space…
