Sorrow swirls in the shell that I am Was already broken before we began Cracks only noticed if you doubletake Pieces of me held together by tape no one could see the facade was great Finally I think I wont hesitate This is the first day I walked through my gate Since losing myself through tragic mistakes Then by what must have been fate I stumbled onto a girl hunched by a lake with no expression on her face pieces of her scattered all over the place I asked her how long has it been this way?
