A stranger makes a promise,
as he leads the girl on.
Her hopes and dreams are high,
but she doesn't know the truth.
One little lie from his soul,
and her life becomes distanced.
Scars on flesh unmarked; her symbol.
Her choker let those who see
that she is nothing more.
Taking pills to block out her vision,
and sneaking into cars to sleep.
She was once an innocence,
but now nothing remains.
Bring death unto her pathetic image,
as she no longer wishes she was born...
