She had jewels that she'd wear for good luck
the trinket girl had something to decorate
tangled up in vines of necklaces

treasure chest she would find
Clinging to her throat
made her weak enough to
go to sleep and dream of
somewhere distant
different

Mirror fell splintering all around her
her necklaces came alive

She won't wake this tingling feeling
won't go away
her green shoes just ran out the window
jangling music tinkers down her stairs
her room's alive with luminous light

The music spreads up
up and down the walls
sparkles a cold wind down my back bone
feels like these colours won't end
and the bending sound will travel forever

Dancing treasures zig-zagged in the air
someone pulled the plug

The trinket girl folds up with her trinkets
she falls apart when they don't

A wailing darkness gave it's presence
she's just a grey wash with no depth

Clinging to her throat
made her weak enough
to go to sleep and dream of
somewhere distant
different
