'I walked into your dream and now I've forgotten how to dream my own dream'
~ Tori Amos

it's not who I am
it's not what I do
it's what I preach against
I tell girls not to leech
then become a vampire myself
my eyes are begging for yours
wishing you would only look my way
spending the day thinking of you
becoming what you need
and I have the nerve to preach
to say 'don't give up your personality'
when mine is lying on the floor
only because you looked my way
my life disappeared
when I entered yours
and that's not who I am
that's not what I do
that's what I preach against
