I wanna be the song you sing whenever you wake. I wanna be the reality within the smile you fake. I wanna be the reason for every breath that you take. I wanna be the crime behind the rules that you break. I wanna be your rock when your heart aches. It seems I'm too selfish for wanting this cake. I'm sorry for loving you my worst mistake....

Wallowing in morbid abode. Whiling away the endless hours; Scribbling sigils, claws cower. Oh God be, merciful to me. Scribbling sigils, claws cower. Feeling your life’s left no dower Envy those not thus...
