Weird is the new me
So you freaks should let me be
Darkness is what I emit
I'm not like thee
Different is always criticised
So why do my demons need to be exorcised?

They are beastly creatures
This is not your nature
You a kind loving soul
Well that was me ages ago
Welcome to the new upgraded version 2.0

When I was misunderstood where were you?
You also tongue lashed me too
I found solace in the dark corner
The demons became my brothers

You forsook me telling me you needed a break
You words piercing me deep within like a stake
I walked my lonely path in tears
While you wined and dined with friends
I was welcomed to an esoteric community
Lifted of my burdens and guilt

Now the veils over your eyes are torn
The old me you knew is gone
You want me back
This gear can't hit reverse

You hope I find my way soon
You pray I find my way back to you

My ship has set sail
It'll be a miracle if I return sane
But if you willing to wait
I just might find my way
.
Back

To

You
