Alice?

Alice followed her imagination
down a rabbit hole, into the dark
finally reached the place of her dreams.

Noone’s words can truly be trusted,
no clock gives you the exact time,
still their words can’t be called lies
it’s their truth after all.

Up is down, down is right,
who taught you the difference anyway?
Pick a side, choose a card,
oh and don’t mind me, but if may
ask you this one thing:
you lost yourself in a world that doesn’t resemble your home at all, isn’t that it?

You could’ve been the Queen of Hearts
But you’ve got too much imagination darling
Played all your cards, remaining pieces useless
You kept dreaming, not actually living
Will you able to get your head out of the clouds now?
