A dead heart beating caged inside my chest

I'm alive but barely living it seems

A ghost between apparitions I float

For someone called the curtain on my dreams

My face is young and pretty, not for long

The chirping clock ticks with no sympathy

I've come of age and in mid-air I'm stuck

No shoulder to cry on when I'm lonely

There's still a spark , it's barely there I know

But it's something I'll hold on to for now

The rainbow shows only after it's rained

I'll mark my presence then I'll take a bow

A dead beating heart, beating loud and clear

I'll wipe my tears and head on to full gear
