Thrown against the wall Pounded and stomped small Tossed into a fiery pit Where the flames and the paper hit Ink smeared and wiped away By the falling tears that tried to stay In your eyes, then on your face And your life feels out of place the one you thought had loved you Spoke with words blatantly untrue You feel as if throwing those words Will free you of those mental wards Wards of memories from the years causing a painful ringing in your ears Make the ringing stop Lie those ballads on top Of the fire that grew Ashes and embers flew And once all the paper is discarded You realize the pain has only started This isn't the way to overcome All the pain that lies to come There's only one way to liberate Yourself from a world of unfair fate Maybe you too should join the fire To permanently escape that liar ***"And today we mourn the death Of our dearest daughter, Elizabeth She perished in a tragic flame Like her feelings, she couldn't tame"***

Elizabeth
Thrown against the wall Pounded and stomped small Tossed into a fiery pit Where the flames and the paper hit Ink smeared and wiped away By the falling tears that tried to stay In your eyes, then on your face And your life feels out of place the one you thought had loved you Spoke with words blatantly untrue You feel as if throwing those words Will free you of those mental wards Wards of memories from the years causing a painful ringing in your ears Make the ringing stop Lie those ballads on top Of the fire that grew Ashes and embers flew And once all the paper is discarded You realize the pain has only started This isn't the way to overcome All the pain that lies to come There's only one way to liberate Yourself from a world of unfair fate Maybe you too should join the fire To permanently escape that liar ***"And today we mourn the death Of our dearest daughter, Elizabeth She perished in a tragic flame Like her feelings, she couldn't tame"***
