Fairytale

At age of 9, I lived through Pixar on a screen

And every single problem seemed so little then to me

'Cause Flik still saved the anthill even though I couldn't see beyond

The kids at school that hated me and my insecurity

Oh, I thought I was invincible

But Mr. Incredible could only take so much and

I made my heart invisible

'Cause I thought that WALL-E

Could still find love with an empty soul

So keep me awake

Just look in my eyes

I'm tryin' to let go

I try to forget

The fairytale lies

But it's all that I've known

I was so scared to open up that door

Worried that the world outside wasn't my home anymore

This isn't Andy's room

These aren't the toys I used to know

What happened to the stories I was told?

Then my mother asked me

"Could you find confidence beyond Lightning McQueen?

'Cause stories won't last once you wake from your dreams"

I looked her in the eyes and asked her what it all means

If my heroes only go so far

Oh, I thought I was invincible

But Mr. Incredible could only take so much and

I made my heart invisible

'Cause I thought that WALL-E

Could still find love with an empty soul

So keep me awake

Just look in my eyes

I'm tryin' to let go

I try to forget

The fairytale lies

But it's all that I've known

Then my mother asked me

"Could you find confidence beyond Lightning McQueen?

'Cause stories won't last once you wake from your dreams"

I looked her in the eyes and asked her what it all means

If my heroes only go so far
