Listen Lucy
Listen Lucy, Luke was strong.
You are merely weak.
You dragged him down, far below.
Is that what you truly seeked?
Listen Lucy, Life is tough.
You won't survive for long.
You killed your friend, murdered him.
Will you rejoice tthrough song?
Listen Lucy, Lovers now cry.
You have caused them that pain.
You corrupted his love, tainted it.
Was that worth the fame?
Listen Lucy, Luke was brave.
You were only a coward.
You can't join him, up above.
Do you feel empowered?
Listen Lucy, Life's a *****.
You don't have to suffer.
You can take the knife, slit your wrists,
But that won't make you tougher.
