Favorite Quote:
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.<br /> -Haruki Murakami


This town seems colder now
I think it’s just like me
Trapped in this old house
With nothing to believe

And all I seem to think
Goes quickly down the drain
And everything I see
It’s all the same

Been down this road a million times
Still fallin’ down this abyss
I can’t remember what I live for
What did I miss?

But there’s hope that I’ll get out someday…
And I say…

Is this light
I’m finally seeing?
And am I now
A human being?
Sinking deeper
Now I’m breathing
I thought this was the end
But I begin again.

Was this all a lie?
All the pain that’s in my past
Now I touch the scars
And they’ve healed at last

I believe in me
And that’s enough for me to live by
Gods and prophecies
Can’t determine who I am…

I am now a goddess of my own kind
Flying into fantasies with no mind
Breathing air that never seemed to matter
Of death and life, now I would take the latter
And I say

Is this light, I’m finally seeing?
Am I now a human being
Sinking deeper now I’m breathing
I thought this was the end
But I begin-
I thought this was the end
But I begin-
I thought this was the end,
But I begin again.
I begin again.
I begin again.

I've been through some rough things, so this is a product of my past, present and future combined.
