A shadow of my simple past
The pain I wish would cease to last
The happy girl you knew is gone
For the world's poison I was drawn
Once I was the happy girl around Till I heard the world's shrill sound
All I knew was the love of life
Now I understand sorrow and strife
There's no stopping this sharp blade
That I could never against my skin, Forbade
The darkness forever in memory
The pain I now define as me
