(Devi) Certain types of fire, Does it burn us into shapes? Always tends to make everything in the universe Seem like a tiny sparkle Unexpected and cute. Thankfully, Gratefully, Gone in an instant.

(Rook) And like the city nights just drift away (Devi) I couldn't figure it out I couldn't fix it by myself I couldn't do it alone I couldn't figure it out I couldn't fix it by myself Everyone else seems so strong and I tried to offer up my pain to be understood But I don't think it's my pain that can be understood, Or needs understanding. There's not a lot of pain in the world that makes any sense I wonder where all this pain comes from, And this evil is, And where it lives?

I tried to understand why it happened like that But it just made my soul break down (Rook) Break down and (Devi) I didn't want things to go like that For a while I was confused, But now I think I understand.

Mistake 02:04
(Devi) Ok As a young kid I studied the unknown on the internet Sacred geometries, Metatrons Cube, The Flower of Life, The Worldsoul, Y'know all that... When you're- When you're a kid y'know, you wanna try and understand the world Try and find your place in it People love to tell you your place in it but, Isn't that just for them? Isn't it always just for them? But it makes sense to wanna know what your place in the world should be But it's not for them It's never ever ever been just for them. I never never never never never never should have tried I never should have tried but it's not my fault. What does it really take to want to hurt a child? It seems like it's not much for a lot of people.

(Devi) If everything fits into place, Seamlessly pieced together in the most terrible way I couldn't keep it together I couldn't make it last I couldn't prove I was good, I wonder if anybody could. I can't keep it together Nothing is meant to last for that long But it doesn't make me feel better To put it in a stupid song I wonder if life is all about just falling apart And painfully becoming something else? (Rook) Breaking down inside every day Another day of hoping for something That I can't say Love confusion hopelessness pain Just falling Through a thousand different lives Of the same thing (Rook+Devi) I'm a person inside a person inside a girl (Rook) I used to be (Rook+Devi) A million different things A million different dreams and hopes (Rook) But now I'm nothing Splintered, fighting for control (Rook+Devi) Inside a shattered soul (Rook) Staring blankly Frightened and all alone (Rook+Devi) Still moving forward (Rook) Broken down from everything (Rook+Devi) Did I do the right thing? (Rook) I wish I had the strength to be (Rook+Devi) Everything to everybody (Rook) I don't know what I need to be Hopeless dreaming Please take care of me I know there's no more place for me These ruined lives inside me scream (Devi) I couldn't keep it together I couldn't make it last I couldn't keep it together But it's not that bad.
