This is me. The me you never knew
For I forgot myself beneath your touch.
You worked me 'til I used you as a crutch.
Then when you had clipped my wings... you flew.
This is me without the masks I wore
Because you asked me to, 'cause I was weak.
You sad, manipulative, lifeless freak!
How could I have been so blind before?
This is me beyond you. I survived
Despite your lies and selfish little schemes,
And all your twisted psychopathic dreams.
With you I decayed. Without you - thrived.
This is me - survivor, real, free.
The parasite is gone. I'm only host
To my desires and dreams. I'm not a ghost...
I'm living. Loving. Satisfied. I'm.... me.

This is me beyond you. I survived

And all your twisted psychopathic dreams.
With you I decayed. Without you - thrived.
