Lyrics

Well alright, you want to go
Start again now don't you know that it's a lie
A new life, a fresh start
A new beginning, in your prison
And for so long you stayed put
You never moved you never should, you never grooved
You just smiled and you shook
You couldn't even control yourself
It was frightening
And in your bed was this man
A lost soul, a bad friend
He'll do fine just let him in until he feels it
Just let him in again until it's real
This song's for you, do you get it
You'll learn the words and forget it
You'll grow your skin and you'll shed it
Serenity's a bitch
And at night when you're alone
You cry for reasons never shown
Never told, never shared, never spoken
My heart is broken
Please look at me, princess grace
With a child in outer space
And he's just floating in your mind like a problem
And he's just singing you this song like a starling
This song's for you, for when you go
These words hold my heart
And my confusion
From a selfish man
To a bleeding heart
Serenity's a gift
Alya, Alya, Alya
Alya, Alya, Alya
Alya, Alya, Alya
Take your time, it's alright
This is real, this feels right
That was wrong, can't he tell
That I'm bleeding?
It's the best ways to expose yourself.
Never ask never tell, crack to pieces like a shell
I cut myself out of my life and now I'm leaving
It's the best way to endure yourself
The best way to ignore yourself
This song's a house
Then let it burn
This house we built
Is made of sand
Let's knock it down and start again
Serenity's the stepchild of defeat
Grant me the courage to expel what is killing me
Grant me the wisdom so I can tell
If I'm in heaven or I'm in hell
Serenity's a suture
Cut myself to watch it heal
Cause I'm alive and I am real
I'm a woman, I'm the ocean
I have undying devotion
I have made up my mind
I will leave this place behind
It won't be easy, but I've done this before
I did my part for the greater good
I'll leave him now, so he'll see
What he shouldn't do to his family
But I love him
This song's for him, so he'll learn
What a good man does when he's in love
And when everything goes wrong
He can write a song
Serenity's a gift
My friends and lovers are just fine
I'm conscious of their time. The only issue
Is that you feel excluded, from my music
And now that you've found you're way inside
It was your right that I denied
I'd have done it sooner, but I don't know how to fake it
This song is yours when you go, just make sure you take it
This song's for you can't you tell
Just a couple of chords and a story of love
A love I know will go on for years
Alya, Alya, Alya
Alya, Alya, Alya
Alya, Alya, Alya
Alya, Alya, Alya, Disappears
