Seeming without a care
She walks through the doors
Leading toward the world outside,
Looking around to see spring arise.
Cutting out the harshness of winter
She smiles and laughs
Watching the antics her friends' play.
But deep down inside,
She only wants to cry.
Oh sweet apple tree
Rain your blossoms down on me
Your pink petals, diluted blood
Drowning me in ecstasy
She watches her life through a mirror
Trying to guess her next move.
Reactions delayed, she plays them off
As her failing to pay attention.
In reality, her reactions are carefully planned
So no one will notice when she doesn't react.
With a sad smile that nobody catches,
She slowly waves goodbye.
Turning away, she leaves to hide.
Lovely apple tree
Rain your blossoms down on me
The pink petals, diluted blood
That drowned me in ecstasy
Sitting alone in her dusky room
She stares blankly at herself.
A candle lit mirror reflecting a stranger,
Someone she thought she knew.
How sad to think that no one knows
The pain she tries to hide
that's so obvious in its absence.
Lifting up the apple blossom drenched in red
She burns away the life she's led.
