Deep inside me in a world far darker than the one you know
Lies a different me...
One who hopes to die in the near future.
She lies on the river's bank and cries
Until her true love appears and hands her a black rose
He says 'Don't fret my dear. For you are more beautiful than any dark thing here.
You need to renew your lust for life and continue in your private world. I will always be with you.'
With these words the darker half of me rises to the surface and takes control.
She pries me from my church because she is an Anti-Christ and tests the limit of my parents benevolence until they throw me out.
My darker half has taken my life and now she will take her own...
The last words from her lips are, 'Good-bye cruel world...'
