Alice

Verse 1: Alice in the morning’s twilight haze, Awoke in a house where shadows maze. Through curtains, like foes in misty fright, The light creeps in, as if in dread’s might. Chorus: Cigarette smoke and ice-cold ash, It’s seven thirty, a sinister splash. Like a tale, but the dark overwhelms, Life flows like nightmares, haunting realms. Verse 2: Martha entered, flooding light through the gloom, Pulled aside curtains, dispelled the room. Dresses and books in ancient shade, Alice dives into a world afraid. Chorus: Cigarette smoke and ice-cold ash, It’s seven thirty, a sinister splash. Like a tale, but the dark overwhelms, Life flows like nightmares, haunting realms. Verse 3: College greets her as a foe so dire, Laughter and scorn — her daily mire. Mary Lyndon with biting jests, Turns to mire, it will not rest. Chorus: Cigarette smoke and ice-cold ash, It’s seven thirty, a sinister splash. Like a tale, but the dark overwhelms, Life flows like nightmares, haunting realms. Verse 4: Alexander Blackwood in castle’s shade, In the gallery where fear is laid. Shadows and dread, paintings in the gloom, Alice awakens in morning’s doom. Chorus: Cigarette smoke and ice-cold ash, It’s seven thirty, a sinister splash. Like a tale, but the dark overwhelms, Life flows like nightmares, haunting realms.
