"I clocked it the second our eyes locked - life's about to get a sharp dark turn. Didn't see the plot twist coming, but I'm Alicia King. Break me? Oh no love, I thrive on shattered pieces, rising from the wreckage.
I'm the dark, scary night, and he's the deep, dark sea. We're the dance of shadows, We cancel each other out. If he's a forest fire, I'm a thunderstorm.
They see a pawn in their twisted game, oblivious to the fact that I'm the puppeteer. I'm the queen, rewriting the rules. The game's rigged, but I hold the deck.
Cut my head off, and I'll still not bow. The only one bowing will be them. Morality's just a blurry line in this twisted game, and I dance on the edge with a smirk on my lips.
Heads will roll, and it won't be mine. I'll be standing on the other side with a sinister grin as I am the woman my bloodline has never seen ~"
