Remember the day
When you turned thirteen?
Almost an adult
Stuck in-between
Emily remembers
In fact, she clearly knows
She's been thirteen forever
Out of time's flows
Always thirteen
Must be a thrill
Peter Pan's history
Emily you can't kill
Neverland's ain't got nothing
Compared to Emily's time
Thirteen forever
Where light never shines
In the darkness
She loves to be alone
Contemplating things
Gargoyles of stone
Thirteen eternally
It must be a blast
But Emily knows
You gotta be fast
