Alice, sweet poor Alice
alone on your throne
in your palace
you drank from that chalice?
and you shrank... toward the floor
Nobody can see you anymore
you fell through the cracks
will you ever get back?
Now though, that you are so small
The world does not seem so big at all
Miss Alice, who possibly could save you
from this dark cave you've thrown
yourself down
the black drinking up light and you choke or
you drown
Who might ever find you?
and may I remind you, young Alice
This world's blinded
to anyone smaller, and each man is taller
than all the other men around
...it doesn't seem as if you'll be found
How is it there Underland
heart keeps time like thunder and lightning
up your veins, a flood
of blood, and raining light illuminates
and erases the pain
Everything thats underhand
you reach out to grasp
all the spaces between the s p a c e s
Occupying (or not) the places you thought
to be real
Its hard to feel when you are gone
the world is not
Alice, could you come back if you missed
earth a lot?
its become habit
chasing the rabbit
falling more off track
do you want to be found?
or to find your way back?
Are you still in the ground, fallen between the cracks?
in the particles of light lost in the black
shake
break
take a bite, make it alright
Swallow this,
A l i c e . . . .
take three or four or more and get
back to me
One makes you tall, the next again
small, the third, you'll fall
if after you're lucky
you'll be able to crawl
Do you want to be found?
Fight tooth-and-nail to stay around?
it doesnt seem to matter what amount
because nobody else is keeping count
