Affectation was an early sign of a twisted mind

All virtues had faded away, apprehension made her cold

But warm she was inside, the child within her died

And left her with a heart of stone Surface anger was a thin disguise, yet at night she cries

Behold the pain in her eyes, degradation was a grind

Her true self left behind, compassion you will find

Hidden by a veil of deception And so the story goes

That's the way she chose to live her life

And anybody knows the way it feels when you hurt inside

She's running from herself, the game of life in which she played Looking back upon the early years, there was room for tears

But she chose to push them away, condemnation was a vice

She chose to roll the dice, and so she paid the price

Misery was her only friend Inner feelings were a neutral zone though she tried to condone

In a world she faced so alone, her salvation came too late

And on that day she died, no one even cried

Forgot about the veil of deception And so the story goes

That's the way she chose to live her life

And anybody knows the way it feels when your hurt inside

She's running from herself, the game of life in which she played
