the candy land

I fell into this body
made of sugar and coal
I know I will love it
and forever I will go

and in the past I was someone
but not someone better
just someone different

give me the real
its gone to far to feel
we are in plastic and vice
its all about the price

in the past I was someone
not someone smarter
but someone innocent

give me your eyes
and il never tell goodbye
im confused and young
lets go have more fun

in the past I was someone
not someone nicer
but someone looking out for me

i gave you everything
you gave the others the string
im tired and alone
looks like life had won

in the past i was someone
not someone to be proud of
but i was someone
