Let the cold wind envelop all that I am,
Allowing it to push me further and further away from you.
I am the kite with glass string; freely falling and flying where I choose.
I am the girl with the poison sting, freely falling and flying where I choose.

Let the sun rise and melt the ice from my blood,
But still the disease remains, and the exposure can’t be contained.
I am the jellyfish, so deadly and calm; freely flowing and going where I choose.
I am the girl who will only do you wrong; freely flowing and going where I choose.

Bitter sweet love, destroying my thoughts.
I could never love you, for you could never accept the truths that hold me captive.
I am the prisoner, who is sentenced to death at daybreak;
freely giving my breath--
& my thoughts to the man who chooses my fate.
I am just the child living in ignorance who is not really a child;
Patiently waiting for that moment that will take me
To the depths where reality has been left asunder to that which is darkness,
And that which is darker then the twisting sickness inside my thoughts.

Arise, with no recollection of the life you have lived,
The choices that have been made;
All that is acknowledged are the burdens of consequence.
Where blood boils and spews so frequently, all you know is sorrow.
There is no essence of time, and anger pointless--
For it was your own actions that lead you astray,
And helped you arrive at this very destination,
Where sugar isn’t considered as sweet as damnation.
