Dark & Beautiful V8r4Re1

As the story goes, the paths flow forward The gears grind and roads split up ahead What path to take, which voice is fate Does my choice even matter The light at the end of the path, a black flame Alluring, inviting, but cold to the touch Strive to be, strive to see All that I can be, restricted by the darkness surrounding me Strive to be, strive to see All that I can be, restricted by the darkness surrounding me Swallowing me Dark and beautiful for no one to see Engulfing all of my light, embracing me Snuffing me out Strive to be, strive to see All that I can be, restricted by the darkness surrounding me Strive to be, strive to see All that I can be, restricted by the darkness surrounding me Break free Every shaky breath, every thought Pulling me under the cover, smothering me It's not what I thought it would be I don't want this, I want to be free Strive to be, strive to see All that I can be, restricted by the darkness surrounding me I want to be me, breaking the chains Running away, I'm done with waiting Fates running late, I need to go, so let it be known I want out now, I'm done looking down And being ashamed, I'm here, proud Ready for what's to come Fuck what they say about me I'm too good for that shit anyway So Deal with it motherfucker With planted feet, I'll stand my ground, draw a line in the sand, I dare you to cross With every passing moment, I'll grow out of reach... I'm here to stay Here to stay
