about

It is easy to feel self important when you're constantly being admired and gazed at. And that is how this story starts, with the girl seeing what shes believes to be suitors but having no love for them. One day her world is shaken up and as she sees the tree toppled over and the snow settling back to the ground, she walks out and feels the globe; finally realizing that she is a prisoner in a very small world that doesn't seem like much of a dream anymore.

lyrics

Suppose nothing could take your place. This globe won’t be loveless forever. Have mercy on the ones who’ve stayed so long but weren’t made to endure you for days. So cope, forgive, let them be. No one meant to shake you up so. So, so, so.

I don’t want to sing alone.

Is it safe, is it done, are you there? I think the worst has passed us by now. And you refuse to let me know that you’re there. Please acknowledge my trembling voice. The great quake and the snow and the fall are over as well as I see; settled to the ground once more.

I don’t want to sing alone.

You see our house still intact somehow though our tree had no such luck. Cautious steps, her lost puppy dog gaze, when she discovered this crystalline dome. You cannot tell me you don’t know by now but this is real and you are here in the globe and I’m so sorry dear, there is nothing to wake from.

I don’t want to sing alone.
