&quot;Wit beyond measure is mans greatest treasure.&quot; <br /> <br /> &ldquo;I didn&#039;t want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that&#039;s really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you&#039;re so relieved. I woke up &quot;

Down, Down
Down you go
Following the rabbit through the hole

Emotions spinning
with trouble and mixing.
Fear and hunger
and lies are twisting

Don't eat that cookie!
Don't eat it, you won't
You'll fall further down
and you won't get out

Ignore the voices,
cruel and mean
Don't be afraid, Alice-
things aren't what they seem.

Take the right path, dear
Anyone is fine
we're all crazy here
and you're running out of time

Down, Down
Down you go
Your feet are moving you,
to and fro

Further and further,
farther you drown
thus is life
and there's no way out.
