While pondering my dark past
How wickedly I was miscast
To portray the part of me
Was never my chosen fantasy
I would if I could, change everything
Reverse the whole god-damn world
Needy would be my mild frame of mind
I would erase all of my pain
End this life lived in vain
Sell my soul to finance the selfish exchange
Anything to get out of this depressing hole
To restart the life someone secretly stole
Escape this hopeless skin I was tricked into
Encased in a shell already cracked in two
Robbed of the love I could only dream of
Then sheathed in despair that fit like a glove
But then you had to happen, you broke into my life
If it wasn't for you I would just swallow my strife
But that was before storms that blew me to you
Lifting my spirit to an alternative view
Without all my sorrow I would never have known
The shell you cracked open had concealed me alone
No longer cloaking my essence from being revealed
Reawakened, my lost soul is finally healed
