It's me, Alice

Hi there, you can call me Alice

I've got no interest in time

While you hide out in your palace

I've got a rabbit hole to find

I'm searching for a magic potion

something to make me feel alive

Searching for love and true devotion

the queen of hearts might leave behind

I know this might sound kind of crazy

but they say, we're all mad here

My memories are getting hazy

and the path's become unclear

When ever we feel emotion

we cover them with a toothy grin

Everything moves in slow motion

hard to get out once you get in

A lot like hotel California

you'd better grab yourself some wine

Because no one is coming for ya

a prison of your own design

Dangling hopes and dreams before you

with no direction or advice

Filling your mind with numbing ego

until what's real has found you blind

So send the calvary to find me

a rescue team to bring me back

You'll find me sleeping by the tree

but don't be deceived and take a nap
