Testo Fables

All fables fail you when you're older
And still the mirror on your wall keeps you from staring into the darkness
And visions keeping you awake
In fairytales, you try to stay
They echo back at you like a chorus
And you're still too young to know
When you're living for a ghost
Spinning fables when the brightest colour's fading Stories fail you when you're grown
Can't hide us from the fall
But my love for you is bold
Take it all

I found my old friends back at home
And for my father, I had all the answers
Paid a price for pretending
Heroes and villains I had made
They're all I have left of my day
In one more page of unwritten endings
Am I still too young to know
I've been living for a ghost?
In my mind, the brightest colours are unfaded
Stories fail you when you're grown Don't believe them anymore
My love for you is bold but it can't save you
My love for you is bold but it won't change you
My love for you is bold
Take it all

How long can I be golden?
If stories I've told can't save my love
How do I be
How do I be bold?
How do I be bold?
Stories all been told
Can't save you from it all
