Genie from Fossils by EmpathP

There was a time
There was a place
None of my memories can erase
A thousand days spent in the sun
All gathered and narrowed to one

I was a child
You were a friend
Both of us playing out a sweet game of pretend
Before the instance that you chose
How the story goes

There was a dawn
There was a night
Lit up by some enchanted light
We watched the moon rise overhead
Flying along a woven thread

Counting to three
How could there be
Any way I’d guess what you had in store for me
No promise that would set me free


You took the fame, I took the fall
A prince of nothing much at all
Then at your hour of triumph I’m forsaken

And as your appetites expand
Your every whim is my command
’Til I’m left wondering what I am


Caught in a hail of rubies and sapphires
With gold and diamonds raining on the floor
I gave you anything your heart desired
But I can’t have the only thing I’m wishing for


There was a tune
There was a song
We might’ve sung the lyrics wrong
But even when we fell off key
We laughed in perfect harmony

Polished in brass
Magic was cast
Rubbing away all your affection for the past
Some miracles aren’t meant to last


You took the prize, I took the pain
A servant kept in silken chains
Then in your rise to power I’m forgotten

And as your influence expands
Your offers turn into demands
’Til I’m left wondering what I am


Caught in a hail of rubies and sapphires
With gold and diamonds raining on the floor
I gave you anything your heart desired
But I can’t have the only thing I’m wishing…
So, hold on to the glory you admire
You won’t be watching as I close the door
I see I’ll never have my heart’s desire
You were the only thing that I was wishing for
