Azure - Fairy's Tale lyrics

I. 'Only a Mother' (And for my child, I'd give the world And for a sprite, I never learn) Make her beautiful Make her pure Name her fairy Make her boy Safe in my womb, you will grow Safe, til the moment of your birth Everyone here is just out to get you Only your mother can ever keep you safe We run, all of our lives, spent on our wings We are just nymphs.... Never fall in love, it's never worth the pain Noone wants you for your brain I was a fool, thought my beauty didn't define me Never again will i make that mistake, I was used and forsaken for that I can't bare to watch my daughter suffer like I did Keep it inside, never speak your mind Shut it all out, I insist Never fall in love, it's never worth the pain Noone wants you for your brain Sleep, sleep away, sleep til we die Sleep til you're here II. 'The Great Thinker' So? I don't know what love is Sex? Well I just don't care God? There is no such thing, but Love? Just tell me where Born as a boy, born again as a girl "Nobody talk to her, she's a thinker" My mother said I can't make any friends Nobody wants you if you're a thinker" Why does nobody like me? Secretly, I'm so lonely All of the boys here want me All of the girls intrigue me Rain won't you please pay attention to me? Nobody talks to me, I'm a thinker Born as a boy, born again as a girl Nobody wants you if you're a thinker III. 'Rain' Early december, oh how I remember Your face as you told me Your name was Rain I was worthless, you were perfect, yet you couldn't stay But oh, it was love Just two nymphs in the winter sun All a girl could ever want Every touch, every breath, every colour in her hair And if love was rain Then she washed my pain away Safe in her arms, I said 'run away with me' Everyone here is just out to get you Only a lover could ever keep you safe So let's run IV. 'The Life of Rain' We were just devils in an honest place He was a stranger with an honest face And I couldn't believe the mess we were in 'Don't worry, my dears', he said with a grin He helped us inside, said we could stay And I guess I just trust every honest face But we weren't aware of the trouble to come He threw us in a cell and held up a gun "don't run Run away There's no where to hide, my dear You've nothing to fear Yeah, you're safe here You're safe here" Then he pulled the trigger,he blew rain away "Only a thinker should deserve this" Now all I had has been relinquished Weeks became months, locked in my cell What once was a nymph is now just a shell Not a thinker, not anymore Once I was broken, the man let me go "Any nymph caught 'thinking' will end up like her So go" Fly away, I'm not a fairy I'm just a nymph It took the d**h of rain To set me straight It took the the life of rain But now you're gone V. 'Just a Nymph' Fairy walks home late at night Finished for the month, now she waits for a week, she just sleeps til then Now she's counting every name, using that big old brain, she remembers everyone, every touch And she would fool you, seems so carefree Like she's meant to, so you can't see What she's been through, oh she's just nymph for you to do as you wanted "And I feel lost and alone and ashamed, where is rain? Just a nymph, a nymph" Beauty defines her, a war in her head still confines her, her lover is dead, don't remind her, just take her to bed, it's much kinder this way VII. 'Beauty Defines Us' // 'The War' What's on the inside doesn't mean a thing, no Something that I had to learn the 'hard' way Love is a fairy's tale, where you find the 'one' But no-one has the time for love anymore Beauty defines us, beauty divine Beauty confines us, or absolves us of the crime Beauty reminds us to relinquish our flaws Hopelessly guides us 'tween masochistic walls So thank god that I look like this Beauty defines us I am a who*e, don't know what for And this is my life, oh is this it? Baby what's the point, though I look so perfect I am just another lay, to another boy Love is a fairy's tale, where your feelings matter I don't want to feel a thing anymore Beauty defines us, beauty divine Beauty confines us, or absolves us of the crime Beauty reminds us to relinquish our flaws Hopelessly guides us 'tween masochistic walls There was a war, not sure what for And nobody wins, when you have wings This is a war, I don't know what for There is a war, and we have wings And claws, and teeth that gnaw If this is war, then how long for? I must protest to make a nest Before we learn to clean this mess Once in a dream, a beautiful dream I had a friend, her name was Rain Now in the dark, losing myself Losing myself, and all for Beauty, hair, the way I dress The way I should seduce a man I must protest to make a nest Now that I know, I know Beauty will ruin me, I swallow my pride Beauty so temporary, not lasting all our lives Beauty reminds us, that we are the same Nymphs are all equal When you treat them like a slave...
