silent and distressed forsaken to the cold moonlit her shadow like ink upon the snow
barefoot she shivers with nowhere else to go matches, matches here for sale
and on this drifting course through time beneath the limitless sublime a heart beats slowly and afraid phantom faces at her side in their anguish cannot hide the beauty and the frailty of life
in desperation she strikes a match her fingers burn with fire and ash escape a heart in a perfect world her eyes light up: the matchstick girl
the [] flashes, voices sing like angels from a secret dream and then as quickly as it came it fades into the cold, back into the cold
with delicate and empty stars who whisper light without remorse and every shadow growing grey to stand below the moon
a vision catches just a smile and lingers on her lips so warm before fading into the darkness a stranger past unknown
and on this drifting course through time beneath the limitless supply everyone who ever was will die (before their time) after all the moment's thrill where they're too naive to [] the mercy one was granted he should find
in desperation she strikes a match fingers ablaze with fire and ash escape a heart in perfect world her eyes light up: the matchstick girl
the [] crashes, voices sing angels embrace her in their wings and then as quickly as it came it fades into the cold
she strikes another and here again a nova burns, a hero's flame against the heart in a perfect world her eyes light up: the matchstick girl
where {there} are believers {there} are beliefs (?) a storybook however brief and then as quickly as it came it fades into the cold, back into the cold
a silent prayer please god protect --- the fingers slip and find neglect --- what you remember no man forgets --- and for her suffering heaven wept ---
in desperation she strikes the pack fingers alive with fire and ash a warmth redeems a fading world her eyes light up: the matchstick girl
heaven breaks, no voices sing like angels in her secret dreams and nothing here will ever touch nor harm this little girl (the matchstick girl)
and in the alley looking back fingers cold now stained and black the warmth departs a fading world her eyelids close, the matchstick girl
the line breaks free this cruel space a knowing smile upon her face stained into the morning light frozen in the snow, matchstick girl is gone (the matchstick girl is gone)
