Maybe this endeavor is a labor of love;
For the girl that you were, and not the one you've become

Maybe it's a cry in the dark!
Maybe it's system shock that you're not who you are!

There's a subtle lesson, conflict and aggression,
Dawning on personas- karma's honest self-expression

It's almost too hard!
Fingertips absently outline these aching scars!

This rage is a joke,
Just like going back in time to survey how it broke

what fresh hell is the past?
You're Bruce Willis and this Haley Joel just went ahead and asked!

Six shots for to not remember
Sunday morning, mid-November

If I really want to forget!
I know me- gotta get more drunk than this!

Too tired, t-t-too tired
To keep awake and play mental keepaway

Fuck strangers, fuck-f-fuck strangers!
Let danger bleed out the anger!

Lemme wake up in a daze,
Lemme just pretend the nights are better than the shadows of the days

Emotional dehydration is
My personal motivation, yeah!

Nothing here is charming, ego is starving;
I'd be more alarmed but I'm still self-harming

Is there shame in post-production?
Is there blame in self-destruction?

Armageddon looks like Persephone took bites
The half of me in hell hates the half in the daylight

Shouldn't save a flower if it won't even bud!
Shouldn't be afraid of your own damn blood!

The end of the tunnel is just a puddle of lies
The only rebuttal I got is shutting my eyes

Time to internalize the fear and regret
Time for denial of every tear has been wept

Maybe it's a cry in the dark;
Maybe it's system shock that you're not who you are

Maybe this endeavor is a labor of love
For the girl that you were and not the one you've become!

And not the one you've become...
