The black pearl
The sinful jewel
The crown desired by most
Watch him walk
Marvel at the power he wields

He wears his confidence with blazing glory
You just can't help but shy away
Beauty only skin deep;
What's beneath, the mystery, is what's lusted over

Close enough to touch
But always so far away that you fall chasing him
This rare prize will drive you insane

This golden speck
You will chase
This broken diamond
You will fantasize over
This black pearl
You will never have

Once cursed and abandoned
Now looked for a second chance
But why should I give you a second chance?
You who showed no love
You who allowed me to explore the dark
You who left me to sink in my poisoned blood

Once feared and all powerful
Now weak and clinging onto a faded photograph
I'm no longer that little boy who you failed to see
I'm no longer that ray of innocence amongst the sea of alcohol
I'm no longer a flame to lead you out of the dark

Once lost and hopeful
Now on the right path too little too late
But why should I drown with you?
You who chose the bottle over me;
I'm no longer there to save you
You who forgot to love me;
I'm no longer there to love you either mother dear;
You who died to me long ago
