Mystery Girl
Implodes your...

I walked around in a haze
never wanted to show my face
didn't think I'd ever find someone
to heal the damage some people had done

To those I've hurt and all I've wronged,

Remembering we all bleed red
Life is a tapestry
True happiness a dream
Such a confusing world
Paradise yet to be seen
