Lyrics
[Intro]
If I had a world of my own
Everything would be nonsense
Nothing would be what it is
Because everything would be what it isn't
[Verse 1]
I invite you to a world where there is no such thing as time
And every creature lends themselves to change your state of mind
And the girl that chased the rabbit, drank the wine, and took the pill
Has locked herself in limbo to see how it truly feels
[PreChorus]
To stand outside your virtue
No one can ever hurt you
Or so they say
[Chorus]
Her name is Alice
Alice
She crawls into the window
Through shapes and shadows
Alice
Alice
And even though she's dreaming
She knows
[Verse 2]
Sometimes, the curiosity can kill the soul but leave the pain
And every ounce of innocence is left inside her brain
And through the looking glass, we see, she's painfully returned
But now "off with her head" I fear is everyone's concern
[PreChorus]
You see there's no real ending
It's only the beginning
Come out and play
[Chorus]
Her name is Alice
Alice
She crawls into the window
Through shapes and shadows
Alice
Alice
And even though she's dreaming
She's unlocked the meaning for you
[Bridge]
This kingdom, good riddance
Good freedom and innocence
Has brought this whole thing down
[Chorus]
Her name is Alice
Alice
She crawls into the window
Through shapes and shadows
Alice
Alice
And even though she's dreaming
She's unlocked the meaning
[Chorus]
Red knights, white knights, marching into the fight
Drink me, shrink me, fill me to sink me
Red knights, white knights, marching into the fight
Drink me, shrink me, fill me to sink me
She's unlocked the meaning for you
[Outro]
And contrariwise
What it is, it wouldn't be
And what it wouldn't be, it would
You see?
