She sits in the corner of this dark room all alone
Paying respects to her mind with this simple imitation
Wondering how much longer she can hide
This great and terrible beauty from their eyes
She scrapes the rusty blade across her blessed veins
All the lies she used to build up this false front
Spill onto the floor mingled with her own blood
And with a dying breath she whispers
"You have never understood, and you will never understand."
Demons take her blood-stained hand in theirs and smile
"Almost there, you're almost there....
Let us walk down this path lined with roses together, my dear."
There is terror mixed with the sorrow in her eyes
Truly, there is no bravery here tonight
Paying respects to her mind with this simple imitation
Wondering how much longer she can hide

All the lies she used to build up this false front
Spill onto the floor mingled with her own blood
And with a dying breath she whispers
"You have never understood, and you will never understand."

"Almost there, you're almost there....
Let us walk down this path lined with roses together, my dear."
There is terror mixed with the sorrow in her eyes
