I was the girl on the heels of Alice
She stole the glory
I followed her along the way
But I got lost in the flowers
And she ran off to become famous
My dress was torn by a rose's thorn
I swear it was done on purpose
For a finger appeared from nowhere
Pointing at me
I do believe it was the cheshire cat's
That is when I deamed the situation hopeless
And threw myself into the sea of tears
Lips parted in a desperate plea
To my surprise the waves would not take me
No matter how hard I tried
So now the past rolled over to the present
Though I've forgotten the sound of a clock's tick
Tock
I will sit by the sea
Cursing the waves that won't let me free
All is not well in wonderland
Since Alice left to play
Sometimes I dream of her world
Where girls grow to be women
And fall in love with men who used to be boys
Sometimes I scream harsh and shrill
To this I receive no reply
Not even a whispered echo
I have figured this is my hell
Just the sand, the repeatitve sea, and myself
If this is hell
Why am I here
I was only a girl
Waiting to be a woman
