"The Hatter's Sigh"

i've got eyes which hide some of my sighs
she says
they're blue and it's true they're stuck on you
she says
sometimes i'm falling and i don't know
if i'll ever pull myself out of this rabbit hole
when everythings up
and everythings down
you don't notice when your world crumbles around
you
she says
i am not a magic dream, i am not someone's scream
i am neither fate nor fury
aspire i to better glory
she says
and after awhile i stop making sense
when there's caterpillars at my side
and mushrooms in my head, and i'd rather be home
or anywhere instead,
i'm careful when it comes to which flowers i tread
she says
which way leads out and where will i go
ask the cat i think he'll know
when you're living on birthday cake four months late
and there's only tea parties to celebrate
shake your weary head and wake up from this death
she says
i've got eyes and they mend my sighs
she says
they're blue and it's true our story is through
queenie she ended up winning you
wear your red roses blood red on your head,
i'm so careful about which flowers i tread,
i am not a magic dream,
i am not someone's scream,
but maybe we're all just escaped sun beams
sometimes
she says
please wake me up from my wonderland
