Time too Wake up
Willow Schnee walked through the halls, a bottle in her hand as she contemplated her decisions in life
Create a place through shapes and shades
Build a blinding stage where beauty's made
But when your colors fade, everything will change
Wait, was that... singing?
I'm trying hard to imagine better
Daydream him, I'll wait forever
I'll pray that our paths blur, together
The Matriarch, paused, placing her bottle against a ledge as she peered into her daughters room.
It might not be true, but it's the best I can do
It's only to keep a little piece of you
I can't keep it inside, I'll have to shout it out loud
All of the things I couldn't live without
The girl standing morosely in her room, her eyes sealed shut as her melodic voice brushed through the empty room and graced her mothers ears.
And I'm pouring my heart, and I'm spilling my soul
And I'm taking a breath, and he's giving his all
And I wanna walk out from the trouble I'm in
'Cause I'm really not sure where to begin
A tear dripping down the heiress's eyelid as she recalled their last conversation.
She could have done more, she
should have done more.
She had wanted too scream, too yell, too soothe him, too comfort him, too hug him...
And if faking it will make it better
Better than it was before
And lies could bring us close together
So I won't be lonely no more
Her younger sibling, her little baby brother, was living on his own with no support whatsoever. And she just left him there!
Pretending it doesn't matter
Could help me pass the time
In make-believe he'll hide forever
She didn't even ask for his number, this wasn't some fairy tail world! He could be dead for Oum's sake! But what had she done too keep in contact? What had she done?
This is real life
This is real life
This is real life, oh oh oh
This is real life, oh oh
(It's time to see the real life)
Unbeknownst too her, her mother tearfully listened, pushing away the bottle till it wasn't even in her sight anymore.
Paint your world full of tones
Write the story so you know how it goes
But my heart's alone until he comes home
Would things have been better if she chose too stay?
He'll make a decision, he'll have no choice
And I'll hold him close, he'll hear my voice
And I'll pray we're together forever
What was all the fame and luxury in the world if you couldn't even have your family by your side? The colour that once filled her room was nothing but a lifeless white.
Take a deep breath, go for a walk
I wish you were here, 'cause we've got to talk
I can't keep it inside, I have to shout it out loud
All of the things I couldn't live without
She wanted too be angry he left, be glad he he had returned, and be sad that she left him.
But what did she give him? Nothing, she just left.
And I'm pouring my heart, and I'm spilling my soul
And I'm gasping for air 'cause he's given it all
He wants to wake up from the dream he's been in
And start it all over so we can really begin
Would Grandpa Nicolas be proud of them? This so called family that fell apart the minute he left?
She knew the answer, but she wished she hadn't...
Faking it will make it better
Better than it was before
And lies could bring us close together
So I won't be lonely no more
She was Weiss Schnee, the loneliest of all, but who's fault was that but hers? The girl who deliberately put walls up between her and the people who cared for her.
Pretending it doesn't matter
Could help me pass the time
In make-believe he'll hide forever
In Argus, where she couldn't find him...
But this is real life
(I'm just trying to survive)
This is real life, ohhh
(Every day and night in real life)
This is real life, oh oh oh
(Take it one step at a time)
This is real life
(Make-believe, it ain't real life)
It's time to see
Too face the reality of foolish choice, that she had walked back home too a father who didn't care about her. Too a mother who spent more time peering into bottle than being there for her kids. Too two siblings who had already left....
Why he's taking the steps and he's making a stand
He's pulling down walls and doing all that he can
He's through with black and white and drawing the lines
Between make-believe and real life
He had taken her grandfathers words too heart, he was doing everything she should be doing.
He was her little brother, and she was prouder of him for doing what she couldn't...
(I'm just trying to survive)
This is real life
(Every day and night in real life)
This is real life, ohh oh oh
(Take it one step at a time)
This is real life oooh
(Make-believe, it ain't real life)
My real dreams and real love
You need the things that you can touch
This make-believe is not enough
It's time to see a real life
And as she finished her song, she fell into a silent sleep. Unaware of her mother, who made a silent promise too herself.
Her little snow-angel wouldn't be alone anymore...
