Faerie Tales

Lying underneath the stars
In a relative's backyard
Shadows walking all around,
Frightening, enticing, putting us on guard

Can you see what I can see?
The spark inside that ignites my flame
Listening, hearing, seeing, believing
You and I are one and the same

Watching that shadow play with the light
Spooked by a cat, black as coal
Sitting and waiting, fearing this thing
You and I, two parts, one whole

It's hard to believe
We both have that Sight
I've never met anyone like you
Those things that move within the night

I can feel your emotions
And your pain
Anger like fire
And sadness like rain

Dreaming of a fantasy world, things I aspire
I don't want to be a princess, I want to be a vampire
Hiding under the closet, monsters under your bed
Never frightened me, no, they never did

Blood, gore, and guts
Ghosts, Faerietales, you're nuts
Werewolves and warlocks
Go ahead and mock

I don't care what they believe
I don't care what they can see
We can see what they cannot
This thing we have, it's nothing they've got
