I thought that I could love you
And love you I did...

Intent upon my new goal
I decide to end my life...

The light at the end
A beacon of hope...

I keep my feelings held tightly in my chest
My anger and resentment try to do their best...

Who’s that person
In the mirror...

The bullet holes and blood pouring thick
the wall's been painted red and black...

Tears fell onto the velvet lining
A silken voice floats up in harmony...

Once upon a time
With a smirk on his lips...

Life has always been a problem
One I’ve never solved...

Flamboyant riches dazzle the eye
A smile worth a million words...

With black clouds billowing across the stone
Upon a high rise were no sun has shone...

With long lists of names carved in the stone
The burial mounds of the defenders unknown...
