There are things I need to say
From the emptiness of my heart
Things so dire
Should have been said from our start
Now it's too late to say those things
When I foolishly walked away
You are far gone now
My heart left in decay
Three words so dear
Should have left my lips
Watching your eyes sparkle
And your body, warm, responded
Like an inferno under my fingertips
For we though we had forever
Our time a short eternity
All I do is regret
And pray you still love me

Close your eyes
Make believe
That "all the world's stage"

Painted smile
All the lights
Pretense golden cage

Let it rain
And wash away
Only pity and rage

Drapped in her glitter
Covered in shimmer
What matters most of all?
Mind on empty
What sets me free?
Waiting, wanting the fall

Cradle silhouettes choking
Memories' fire smoking
How do you escape hell?
"Do as you're told
Do nothing bold"
Damnation preaching they sell

Fragile disposable teen
To the world, lost and unseen
Throwing her life away
Dreams, parasite infected
Her wings, her voice dissected
Escape? "Not today"

I watched her as she slipped away,
away from reality,
day by ever passing day,
falling away from me.

I couldn't see what was chasing her,
or what she might be chasing,
but I just couldn’t leave her there
with her fears racing.

It was like watching her sink.
drowning from her past,
taking over how she thinks,
I knew she wouldn’t last.

Why she was like this?
She’d didn’t understand.
And trying to not be sick,
but wonder land was not wonderland.

She, was still phobic,
she couldn’t get help from me
no longer wanted to be,
I watch her enter the sea,
trying to escape reality.

If my heart were made of mirror glass
then all the pieces would have shattered,
and the pieces would be too sharp
to be put me back together.

I would have noticed you caught yourself
torn, between me and my reflection
not knowing who you really loved
I would have died from your rejection

So I broke into a million pieces
and rejection I could not flee,
shards of me you tried to repair
and you bled from the cut you received from me.

I have given this a lot of thought,
and soon I will tell the truth,
the girl you see before you,
isn't the girl you thought you knew.
She is shattered like the mirror glass,
and lying open on the floor,
the girl you once loved,
has ceased and is no more.

She is replaced by another Spirit,
that was created after years of hurt and pain,
she was broken and came undone,
has nothing in this life to gain.
But you allowed him to do this!
And he ***** all of me.
But you were so enclosed in your life,
or were you too stupid to see
or you didn't care what happened,
you sat and let my die over and over again
and it killed me, you know,
you left me to die alone and without a friend.

Corsets around me
tightening on the last harp string,
allowing no air
for me and the world to share
so deadly and painful
but **** and beautiful
I will endure,
to have it once more
to give it all
to allow myself to fall
to change all of me,
for all the world to see
I will make it through
to be more like you
imitation is suicide,
to swallow all my pride
I will hang
in all popular things
then be more like me
I die in the noose of society
