Alice, why would you leave wonderland?
Was it too realistic
That life seemed so hard
And almost impossible to live?

Was it hard for you to drift away
From the inner thoughts
That questioned you day and night?

Alice, why would you leave wonderland?
Were your feets tired and sore
From trying to catch up
With someone that wasn't meant for you?

Were you exhausted from being delusional
About something that never really existed?
Were you tired of having hopeless dreams
That you decided to wake up?

Alive, why would you leave wonderland?
Had you misread the signs
And followed the wrong path
A path that lead you to more confusion?
