Coraline

Tell me your truth
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth
Coraline Coraline
 
Coraline, pretty like the sun
Warrior with a zealous heart
Hair red like the roses
Those precious copper strands, my love, bring them closer to me
If you hear the bells toll
you'll see Coraline mourning
She takes the pain of others
and carries it inside her
 
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth
Coraline Coraline
 
But she knows the truth
Not everyone can keep going
with a heart split in two
It's cold already
She's only a girl but she can feel
a kind of heaviness and sooner or later, she'll break
People will say "She's worth nothing"
Uncapable of even walking out the damn door
But one day, one time she'll succeed
 
And I've told Coraline that she can rise
Take her things and leave
But there's a monster keeping her inside the cage
that covers the road with mines
And I've told Coraline that she can rise
Take her things and leave
But Coraline doesn't want to eat, no
She would rather disappear
 
And so Coraline mourns
Coraline is anxious
Coraline likes the sea, but she's scared of the waters
Perhaps because the sea is inside her
And every word feels like an axe
A cut on the back
Like a raft sailing
the river in flood
and perhaps the river is inside her
 
I'll be the fire and the ice
A shelter in winter
I'll be what you breathe
I'll understand what's inside you
I'll be the water for you to drink
I'll be the meaning of good
I'll even be a soldier
or the evening light
And I'm not asking for anything in return
but a smile
Each of your tiny tears is like an ocean on my face
And I'm not asking for anything in return
just a bit of time
I'll be the flag, the shield
or your silver sword
 
And so Coraline mourns
Coraline is anxious
Coraline likes the sea, but she's scared of the waters
Perhaps because the sea is inside her
And every word feels like an axe
A cut on the back
Like a raft sailing
the river in flood
and perhaps the river is inside her
 
Tell me your truth
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth
Coraline Coraline
Coraline, pretty like the sun
She's lost the fruit of her womb
She's never known love
Only a father who's not much of a father
They've told her that inside the city, there's a castle
with walls so strong
that, if you go to live there,
nothing will ever hurt you
nothing will ever hurt you
