Pale Nara of Crystal City

Lyrics

[Verse]
Out in the fields where the wildflowers grow,
Nara stands tall with a forehead aglow,
A crystal that gleams under moon’s silver light,
Drawn to the city, even though it ain't right.

[Verse 2]
Her son's words are whispers she can't seem to hear,
"Leave Crystal City, come on, disappear."
But Nara, my dear, you crave all the pain,
Chasing a dream that leaves nothing but rain.

[Chorus]
Oh Nara, pale Nara, when will you see,
The city's no place for a heart to be free.
You’re breaking and aching, just walk away,
But the crystal calls you, and there you stay.

[Verse 3]
She wanders the streets with a heart full of scars,
Collecting her bruises like lost shooting stars.
The crystal it cuts, and she loves how it stings,
In the city of harm, where sorrow she sings.

[Verse 4]
Her son tugs her sleeve, pleading under the moon,
"Ma, pack up, let’s leave, and it better be soon."
But Nara just smiles, with a faraway look,
Held by the crystal and the pain that it took.

[Chorus]
Oh Nara, pale Nara, when will you see,
The city's no place for a heart to be free.
You’re breaking and aching, just walk away,
But the crystal calls you, and there you stay.
