Sometimes I wonder just what sort of spell I'm under That makes me think I need a lyrical persona Is it that I'm a writer and think I need to embellish All the boring little details Granting that wish Breathing more excitement into my life By creating these tales filled with danger Having been abandoned by my father When I was such a little child Raised by my mother for my first seven years Life wasn't always perfect, won't say I never shed any tears But I always had all I really needed Never went to bed hungry, always felt appreciated Just playing the games with kids with forgotten names Never really knowing just what to expect next But this isn't a song about my forgotten childhood This is about all of my lost memories... This is not at all How I saw myself When I was growing up Suffocating in mirrors Locked away No more will they play They're all just broken reels Of abandoned films Fixated on trying to repair my broken past Trying to make those future dreams stabilize at last Looking through the stars to find out clues about who I am All the boring little details Zooming into greater view Unshrouding the mystery of who I used to be Focusing my research on the tales I used to weave Craving the blood of another human body Fantasy fulfilled my every need Lost my mind when I finally turned 19 Lashed out at my family, forgot who I was meant to be Lost all of the essence of the one I needed Cried myself to sleep, every single day my heart growing more weak Erasing my own memories, leaving out the forgotten names Never really knowing just what to expect next But this isn't a song about all of my mistakes This is all about how I lost everything... Realized I'm to blame For every single fucked up game That I used to play when I was growing up Never thought it would end like this

Here we are again Another sleepless night sitting in my room While you just fight I can't take this While you rape this Why don't you break this Now Left me alone Expecting me home Left me alone Expecting me home (Why) aren't you there? (why) don't you care? (why)'d you let me go? (why) won't you know? Everything you do Comes around to me Everything i hear Got it through my fears It's all over Where's my shoulder To cry on Now... Left me alone Free on my own Left me alone Alone I roam... (Why) aren't you there? (why) don't you care? (why)'d you let me go? (why) won't you know? Left me alone Don't leave me here Don't leave me now Please stay with me... (Why) aren't you there? (why) don't you care? (why)'d you let me go? (why) won't you know?

I am faceless in the presence of society In this modern world there is no place for me All these emotions wreak havoc on my soul I'm weak and weary and cannot accept my faults Take me back, mother earth Tonight I will renounce my birth Leave this body that is mine A useless shell raped by time I just want to fade away Leaving this world a hollow memory There is no place for those like me Seeing past this false reality The river of life released from my veins To paint this world as psychotic as society Granades in hand and knives in flesh Tonight I give this world my best Take me back, mother earth Tonight I will unbind this curse Free this soul that is mine Discard this shell raped by time I just want to fade away Leaving this world a hollow memory There is no place for those like me Seeing past this false reality
