They told me once
That I was their favorite follower
And I believed them
But no more
I was tricked
And made a fool
I made a mistake
And didn't follow a rule
So here I am
Trapped in this cave
Stuck in my heart
From this mess you made
I carve people out of marble
Simply with my eyes
All of these memories have become scars
That will never say goodbye
"I'm a monster."
"No you're not."
"I can't take this anymore."
"Please don't cry."
"Only if you hold me."
"I can't even look at you."
"You know why, right?"
"I know what they did to you."
"Then you should understand my rage."
"You've been given a gift to ward off men like me."
"A gift I'd like to return."
"Then march up to the throne and do it."
"I'd be shot before I made it past the gates."
"I'll be there to protect you."
"I don't need protection."
"There's the old you."
"There's nothing left of the old me."
"Darling, they didn't change your brain."
"You're right, it's still dark as ever."
"You are made of self-destruction."
"And you'll be made of stone."
