Cecil Opia - Plastic Pearl Lyrics

I once knew a girl
A pretty little plastic pearl
Lost in a golden maze
Keeping me in her glistening silver gaze
She didn't see me, no
A veil of fears blinded her with tears and
I'm just a paper boy
My heart wouldn't save her
Every night she'd cross her hands
Close her eyes and breathe
Every night she'd sing a song
Call for someone she believed in
She sang
Please let me live like normal people do
Please sing me to sleep
Please let me breathe like normal people do
Please change these eyes
Stitch them with buttons
See me
Hear me
Peel my skin and see I'm not hollow
I could see you
I could hear you but you chose to drown
I could hold you
I could tell you there's no one watching over us
I could love you
Protect you
But you chose to drown
But you chose to drown
She sang
Please let me live like normal people do
Please sing me to sleep
Please let me breathe like normal people do
Please change these eyes
Stitch them with buttons
