Fables

All fables fail you when you're older And still the mirror on your wall Keeps you from staring into the darkness What vision's keeping you awake? In fairy tales you try to stay They echo back at you like a chorus And you're still too young to know When you're living for a ghost Spinning fables when the brightest color's fading Stories fail you when you're grown Can't hide us from our fall But my love for you is bold Take it all I found my old friends back at home And for my father I had all the answers Paid a price for pretending Heroes and villains I had made They're all I have left of my day In one more page of unwritten endings Am I still too young too young to know I've been living for a ghost In my mind the brightest colors are un-faded Stories fail you when you're grown Don't believe them anymore My love for you is bold but it can't save you My love for you is bold but it won't change you My love for you is bold Take it all How long can I be golden? If stories I've told can't save my love Oh, how do I be How do I be bold? How do I be bold? Stories all been told Can't save you from it all
