The resonance of her song is low,
Yet strong as it carries me to a surreal world...

Kill me softly
murder me sweetly...

Murder my heart
slice me deep...

"Murder," I wrote
On the walls of my heart...

Silence intruded into the opaque
blackness surrendered to dismal heartbreak...

Cutting all of these emotions out
trying to find what its all about...

Surrounded by thorns this tender rose
Draws your blood and on it grows...

Just let me die
I want to end it all NOW...

A mass of
Compacted confusion...

You asked me who my best friend was
I said I didn't have one...

The flag is lowered, steady, slow,
Through tears I watch them fold it up...

You complicated me
Confused me from the start...
