Fairytale - Livingston

At age of nine I lived through Pixar on a screen

And every single problem seemed so little then to me

Cause Flik still saved the anthill even though I couldn’t see beyond

The kids at school that hated me and my insecurity

Oh I thought I was invincible

But Mr. Incredible can only take so much and

I made my heart invisible

Cause I thought that WALL-E could still find love with an empty soul

So keep me awake

Just look in my eyes

I’m trying to let go

I try to forget

The fairytale lies

But it’s all that I’ve known

I was so scared to open up that door

Worried that the world outside wasn’t my home anymore

This isn’t Andy’s room, these aren’t the toys I used to know

What happened to the stories I was told

Then my mother asked me

Could you find confidence

Beyond Lightning McQueen

Cause stories won’t last once you wake from your dreams

I looked her in the eyes and asked her what it all means

If my heroes can only go so far

Oh I thought I was invincible

But Mr. Incredible can only take so much and

I made my heart invisible

Cause I thought that WALL-E could still find love with an empty soul

So keep me awake

Just look in my eyes

I’m trying to let go

I try to forget

The fairytale lies

But it’s all that I’ve known

Then my mother asked me

Could you find confidence

Beyond Lightning McQueen

Cause stories won’t last once you wake from your dreams

I looked her in the eyes and asked her what it all means

If my heroes can only go so far
