"I was born very far from where I'm supposed to be. So, I guess I'm on my way home."


Eurydice forgive me
Eurydice soon you'll see
Why I could not look into your eyes
this coldness is only a disguise

Eurydice it'll be worth all the secrets
Eurydice the gods are already placing bets
on whether Hades will claim our souls
or if our love will let us achieve our goals

Eurydice stop your screaming
Eurydice I promise there's a meaning
behind my distant demeanor
I promise I won't get any meaner

Eurydice I can't risk turning around
Eurydice please don't make those horrid sounds
I'm sorry but you have to let go of my arm
this is only going to cause us more harm

Eurydice, don't you see, you've doomed us both to hell
Eurydice, I'll hold them off, this is our farewell
why do you just stand there
your grin chills the very air

You stupid b*tch, you've doomed us both,
us both
