BACK TO CINDERS

Cry Cinderella, cry,
Let the tears roll.
Scream Cinderella, scream,
Let it all out.

Sink into your miseries, let the fears flow,
Let them see and feign awe.
Loose self-control.
Fall Cinderella, fall,
Fall to the bits you are made of.

Let the glass slippers break,
Swim out of this fairy tale.
No need to smile anymore, no need to be good anymore,
Bleed Cinderella, bleed,
Till all the lies gush out.

Paper-thin happiness,
Trying so hard to veil the humiliation inside,
Mirthless laughter trying so desperately to conceal hatred,
Stand Cinderella, stand,
Let the false covers split apart.

Let despair cascade,
Let it pile on the floor.
Don’t bother to clean up tonight,
Let the scars show,
Watch them in their fineries put up an act of disgust.
Speak Cinderella speak,
You’ve been silent for too long.

Cry Cinderella cry,
Let the tears roll.
Scream Cinderella scream,
Let it all out.
